sshfs alternative?

I have been using sshfs pretty happly till now. It was fairly easy to use, all i needed was one package and a remote ssh server to store my files.

Now that i upgraded to gigabit i noticed performance problems with it. With sshfs I get about 8MB/s, with scp i get about 60MB/s. Changing cyphers doesn't help.

So I would like some alternative to sshfs with the same kind of flexibilities, with the speed of nfs.

I don't like nfs, it's rather complicated to setup(given that i have a ton of filesystems on my server, I don't want to export them individually).

So here are my requirements:

• Something easy to setup on the server without having to export each fs manually.
• Something as fast as nfs
• Preferrably something that doesn't require a funky network setup to use(ideally i can just use it over the ssh port). Samba gets disqualified because of that
• Something that supports/translates server side symlinks

sshfs was perfect till now, but that performance problem blocks me from having a lot of stuff in my /home on an sshfs share.
