Reading the upstream bug (
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523015 ) suggests that the
slowness is because when nautilus writes a file via gvfs, it writes a
buffer, then waits for gvfs to confirm the write, then sends more data,
waits for a reply, etc.

It seems like it is a bit of a design flaw, but it might be hard to fix
(see comment 2) since both nautilus and the sftp backend are using the
API as designed.

It doesn't look like anyone is working on it. We try to mitigate this by
not using nautilus for copies where possible.
