I tested FileZilla, too. Indeed, it is much more faster than the SFTP plugin, no matter if SFTP or SCP mode is activated. In my setup, SFTP via FileZilla is 3-4x faster than SFTP via plugin.
I took a quick look at the FileZilla sources and it pretty much seems to be all about chunk sizes. SFTP plugin uses a static buffer size of 32K for download and 16K for upload. That seems to be the "performance killer". FileZilla uses dynamic chunk sizes depending on transfer time/size.
In theory there might be a negative effect on UI responsibility when trying to cancel an operation but in real life i think this can be ignored.
Maybe we should give it a try?
