I wrote an alternate version of MTPFS. I created it especially for Android devices (I tested with a Xoom and a Galaxy Nexus), and it should be faster and more stable than the original. It's available from https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs, and a 32 bit binary is on http://hanwen.home.xs4all.nl/public/software/go-mtpfs. It requires a fairly recent libmtp version, though.

I just uploaded a 64 bit x86 binary as well. Enjoy!

Yep go-mtpfs is the best you can get for an Android today. I think if the majority of devices start to work like the Androids, the concept should be incorpotated into GNOME and KDE.

Thanks for posting this. It's really much better than the standard mtpfs.
