[sshfs] Write slower than Read?

[Searle, J. <Jus...@je...>]

I didn't see this in the FAQ.

I noticed that I'm only averaging 3 MB/s write speeds, but can get 11 =
MB/s read speeds.  When compared to scp, it can do 11 MB/s read and =
write.  Is this normal?  I'm testing this between two Debian Etch =
machines.
