When I need speed, I drop down to FTP/rcp or some other cleartext protocol.

Moving a terabyte database in an upgrade, I have connected three ports direct (no switch), then used xargs to keep all three connections busy with transferring the 2gb data files. I can get the transfer done in under an hour this way.

I don't currently have a performance need for an encrypted transfer, but one may arise.
