I'm 100% sure it's due to packet delays. Mark, as a suggestion, could
you provide us a little more information, like the RTT between the two
hosts (even on the LAN), and the sample of code you used for the
benchmark (so it's reproducible). We all know that performance of a lib
may be very well depending on the way it's being used.
I'm also interested in having libssh's results on your site as well
(both 0.4.6 and git master).

I second this advice. "cat file > /dev/null" before running the test may
be enough. On remote side, when possible write to /dev/null or to a SSD
disk.
