I've not transferred large files. But, I remember someone posted a long time ago similar speed problems with large files.

If it's a showstopper for you, you can also use Expect.pm to drive an sftp binary (compiled, openssh.org module) interactively. I posted an example a few months ago about how to get started with this.  It's a little more complicated. But, one benefit is that you're driving the same executable you can execute from the command line. If something doesn't work as expected, you can test directly with the module.
