Description Zsolt Z. 2014-10-09 19:35:56 UTC
Copying from local machine to a remote host with sshfs (dolphin, fish://) is very slow.

For example copying an 50MB test file from my computer to  my VPS:
With scp:    ~5 MB/sec 
With dolphin (KIO, fish://):    ~500 KB/sec

Another server:
With scp:    ~2 MB/sec
With dolphin (KIO, fish://):    ~80-90 KB/sec










Reproducible: Always

another performance example:
host: openSUSE 13.2
client: virtualbox with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and Plama 5.3

with scp: ~ 90-100MB/s which nearly reaches the 1GB/s link speed.
with dolpin's  sftp:// only 10MB/s

I'm experiencing the same problem in Dolphin 18.04.0 in openSuSE 42.
fish:// protocol in Dolphin gives about 30 KB/s, while simple scp in terminal gives 500 KB/s.

It is even slower when copying from one ssh remote to another. I've got these results testing copying KIO fish:
 1. server A -> local: 1100 KB/s
 2. local -> server B: 180 KB/s
 3. server A -> server B: 24 KB/s

(I was copying one large file in all of these tests.)
