No. Recently I've tried both sshfs/wfsp outlined earlier in the thread and two
native sshfs solutions on the same target system, all exhibit same behavior.

Running "git status" on a project directory takes:

- locally on the host: up to 10s;
- over CIFS share: up to 30s;
- over SMBFS share: up to half an hour(!).

You should first think about your needs and use cases. Do you actually need
filesystem features? Or all you need is the ability to copy files to/from the
server?

For SSH, rsync and git both coming to mind.
