ftpd transfer speed and encryption

[Borislav_S]

Hello

When using the ftpd from the MIT 1.4.3 distribution I notice a pretty
big difference in transfer speeds when encryption is enabled or
disabled. When not enabled (the client is called without -x) I see
speeds of around 10mb/s which is what I expect on a 100mbit connection.
When using -x and encryption is on the transfer rate goes down to
1mb/sec. Is anybody experiencing this or it is just me. Thanks.
