So why don't you do something like this :
time scp -c <alg> file1 user@machine:
It wil tell you the time spent in user space / kernel space , etc.
It's still not clear what exactly you are trying to measure, and this
thing won't do for you. If you want intimate information from scp, such
as how much time it spends in a certain routine, then recompile ssh with
profiling support and run the above commands inside gprof .

What do you mean more precise? Once the file(s) have finished
copying, it tells how the speed of each file and how long each one
took...
There is a large spread of speed if you repeat the measure over time.
I did not know on what it depends. I would like a more appropriate
tool, to have a look at the various connections that occur. For
example different speed with different crypto algorithm....
