Thanks Stephen.  I found some tips.  I tried iperf3 with the pi as the 
server and my desktop machine as the client using  the -bidir option.  
It shows between 927 and 949 Mbits/sec.  This told me I should get 
faster speed than I am.  I got to thinking that the slowdown might be 
due to everything encrypted and decrypted since I was using sshfs.   I 
had samba installed on the pi so I could share music with vlc running on 
my phone.  I tried copying a file using samba and got around 65 
MiB/sec.  I installed nfs and get 89 or 90.

Problem solved and thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
