[Bug 250517] Re: gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers

 

Still here on Oneiric, unfortunately.
This bug means for me that a remote backup over gvfs (using Simple Backup) takes hours, where it could be done in less than half an hour.
It also means, I cannot play back video from my moviebox over wireless - the higher latency drops throughput below what is needed for continuous playback.
I cannot believe that this issue has been around since Intrepid and not being fixed!

Title:
  gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers

Status in The "G" Library - GLib:
  Confirmed
Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Tested on a low-latency 100Mb fibre link. scp/sftp console clients are able to hit the line speed of around 10MB/s. Copying via Nautilus is almost 10 times slower, at about 1.6MB/s.
  This seems to be because it does not batch up writes, but waits for a reply for each.
