I would love to see a comparison between scp and wcp over NFS, more specifically large single file sizes, if folks are looking to discern more performance parameters.

wcp is good stuff!

I would expect pretty much any plain copying program over NFS to beat scp, since scp has the overhead of encryption. On a slow disk with a fast CPU it might roughly match though.
