I've got proftpd running on my server and on a whim tried an sftp connection for a website I was working on. To my amazment, transfer speeds increase exponentially. Getting a directory of about 300 files totaling around 5M takes around 10 minutes using default proftpd.conf in passive mode. Same directory takes under 2 using sftp. These options are in proftpd.conf

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off

Why is proftpd so much slower than sftp and any pointers on increasing my proftpd performance?
