RClone S3 backend copy is 2x slower than aws s3 cp

i thought of that but in the OP debug, rclone is not checking the hash.

what is rclone doing between 19:11:20 and 19:11:29?

on the one hand, rclone is checking the hash and not reporting that.
on the second hand, rclone is not checking the hash as server_side_encryption is used.
on the third hand, something else is going on
