HPN-SSH Performance vs. OpenSSH/SFTP Performance

Hi,
I just came across the High Performance SSH/SCP - (HPN-SSH) -
http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ - and was wondering if
the HPN patches had been ported to mailine OpenSSH. If not, what
suggestions are available for improving the speed of SFTP in local LAN
environments? Thanks for your help.
