Question scp is slow

All of the sudden scp got really slow ... from 2-3 seconds to 30 seconds.
This happened for 5 hours, and then it went back to running fast.
Why?

If I use the -q qualifier which "Disables the progress meter" could this have any adverse effect?

Thanks

This option must be used if directly following another file tap without an expected size specified. -i interval Interval in seconds. Examples: 5 or 0.25". Default is 1. -p Use plain-text display (one tap only). -rx iface Display bytes received on network interface. -tx iface Display bytes transmitted on network interface. -z Report zero size on files that don't exist instead of waiting for them to be created EXAMPLES How long it will take for my 38MB transfer to finish? speedometer favorite_episode.rm $(( 38 * 1024 * 1024 )) How quickly is another transfer going? speedometer dl/big.avi How fast is this LAN? host-a$ cat /dev/zero | nc -l -p 12345 host-b$ nc host-a 12345 > /dev/null host-b$ speedometer -rx eth0 How fast is the upstream on this ADSL line? speedometer -tx ppp0 How fast can I write data to my filesystem?
