Bad choice of test, this is cpu limited since the scp
has to encrypt and MAC hash all the data it sends.

Use something like straight ftp or "bw_tcp" from lmbench.

Using a different tool seems strange to me, why not just adjust the
buffer size with command line options in the benchmark you were using
in the first place?
