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.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM and it's running Ubuntu 20.04.  It has gigabit ethernet built in.  The router everything's connected to is an Asus RT-ACRH13.  The computer is a Dell Optiplex 7010 with Kubuntu 22.04.  Everything's connected at 1Gb/s but I'm only getting about 46 MiB/s when transferring files from the Raspberry pi.  The files are stored on a 2TB Hdd connected to the Pi via USB3.   How can I get faster speeds from the Raspberry Pi?


Thanks
