This depends on what you're transferring, but is it easily compressible then you can have SCP compress/decompress the data so there is less of it being transferred
Compressed images (e.g. JPEGs) dont compress well, so you dont get a lot of speedup.
Regular text files (like source code) can usually be compressed before transfer and uncompressed at the end.
'man scp' for more infos.
