Actually sftp is more efficient than scp, too. scp has its own awful buffering on top of TCP (lots of HPC sites used a patched version to avoid speed limits). Or at least did 10+ years ago when I checked; it's possible that OpenSSH has managed to circumvent the issue now.

IIRC SFTP is more like NFS than FTP and latency limits its bandwidth quite a lot.
