The original idea was that most people would leave the installation of binary packages to the package manager and copy over small text files. Performance tuning for copying large files across is work in progress, and is part of a major refactoring of the file transfer protocol in use. I believe this is due in the current stable release (or the next). We are working around this by converting binary packages into RPMs and deploying those directly.
