I have a system on a 500 k I-net conxn. When I transfer files via ftp the entire bandwidth is used and the transfer is as expected. However, when using sftp the packets seem to send and arrive in little segments separated by what seems to be about a second and a half to two seconds and the bandwidth is down to about a quarter or less of the 500k avail. Running top I can see the processor is idle 98% or so. I could understand the overhead being high for the encryption would make the limiting factor the speed at which the processor can work the encryption, but since the processor is basically free, why wouldn't the file transfer take up the available bandwidth? Has anyone experienced this? Anyone know of a hack to improve the performance?
