Solaris sftp throttling?

I get poor performance when sftp'ing a file to a server on a SunOS 5.10 system, with Sun_SSH_1.1.4. The same client performs much better to a linux system at the same site. From a TCPdump, it appears that the Solaris server is throttling the thruput. After proceeding normally for a while, the...

NAME

       File::Scan - Perl extension for Scanning files for Viruses

SYNOPSIS

	 use File::Scan;

	 $fs = File::Scan->new([, OPTION ...]);
	 $fs->set_callback(
	   sub {
	     my $filename = shift;
	     my $bytes = shift;
	     ...
	     return("Callback Value");
	   }
	 );
	 $fs->scan([FILE]);
	 if(my $e = $fs->error) { print "$e
"; }
	 if(my $c = $fs->skipped) { print "file skipped ($c)
"; }
	 if($fs->suspicious) { print "suspicious file
"; }
	 if(my $res = $fs->callback) { print "$res
"; }

DESCRIPTION

       This module is designed to allows users to scan files for known viruses.  The purpose is to provide a perl module to make plataform
       independent virus scanners.

METHODS

   new([, OPTION ...])
       This method create a new File::Scan object. The following keys are available:

       callback => 'subroutine reference'
	      if the item is set then use a callback subroutine reference to provide extra information and functionalities. The callback
	      subroutine have two arguments: filename and first 1024 bytes read from the file. This only work for binary files.

       extension => 'string'
	      add the specified extension to the infected file

       move => 'directory'
	      move the infected file to the specified directory

       copy => 'directory'
	      copy the infected file to the specified directory

       mkdir => octal_number
	      if the value is set to octal number then make the specified directories (example: mkdir => 0755).

       delete => 0 or 1
	      if the value is set to 1 delete the infected file

       max_txt_size => 'size in kbytes'
	      scan only the text file if the file size is less then max_txt_size. The default value is 5120 kbytes. Set to 0 for no limit.

       max_bin_size => 'size in kbytes'
	      scan only the binary file if the file size is less then max_bin_size. The default value is 10240 kbytes. Set to 0 for no limit.

   scan([FILE])
       This method scan a file for viruses and return the name of virus if a virus is found.

   set_callback([SUBREF])
       This method is another way to install a callback subroutine reference.  Take a look in callback kay.

   skipped()
       This method return a code number if the file was skipped and 0 if not. The following skipped codes are available:

       0     file not skipped

       1     file is not vulnerable

       2     file has zero size

       3     the size of file is small

       4     the text file size is greater that the 'max_txt_size' argument

       5     the binary file size is greater that the 'max_bin_size' argument

   suspicious()
       This method return 1 if the file is suspicious and 0 if not.

   callback()
       This method return the result from the callback subroutine.

   error()
       This method return a error message if a error happens.
