I've found that the default options result in extremely poor performance when uploading/downloading multiple files quickly. Try editing /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and changing these lines: xferlog_enable=NO then do a "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart". After this change, uploading lots of small files worked a *lot* faster.
