Noticed the same behavior here some time ago. I didn't investigated how to
properly fix it yet, but the following patch increased the transfer rate:

--- smart/fetcher.py (revision 876)
+++ smart/fetcher.py (working copy)
@@ -1668,7 +1668,7 @@
             while res == mp:
                 res, num = multi.perform()
             self._lock.release()
-            time.sleep(0.2)
+            #time.sleep(0.2)
         self._running = False

Seems to not be the right way to fix it. Needs further investigation.
