PHP Amazon S3上传速度

Question

I am using a PHP Amazon S3 Class (which seems to be highly recommended and widely used) and have found that the speed of a file upload is extremely slow compared to if I use the command line s3cmd utility.

For example, the same 20mb file took 2.8 seconds via s3cmd and around 54 seconds via php:

Command Line:

s3cmd put archive.tar.gz s3://bucket

Output: File 'archive.tar.gz' stored as s3://bucket/archive.tar.gz (23320623 bytes in 2.8 seconds, 8.07 MB/s) [1 of 1]

PHP:

$time = time();

$s3 = new S3('ACCESS KEY','SECRET KEY');
$s3->putObjectFile('archive.tar.gz','bucket','archive.tar.gz');

echo 'Done in '.(time()-$time).' seconds';

Output: Done in 54 seconds

Is this just something I have to accept if using PHP to upload to S3? Or is there a better way of doing this that I'm missing? I just can't see why there would be such a huge discrepancy in the upload speed and as I need to do this with much bigger files in the future, such slowness is going to be problematic.

Disable SSL!

$s3 = new S3('ACCESS KEY','SECRET KEY', false);

And now it is speeeeeeding along.
