Geany doesn't actually know how to save over SSH, instead GVFS,
specifically GVFS-fuse, provides the capability as if the file was
local, ie Geany reads and writes to it using C standard posix calls
just like a local file.

Therefore, as Enrico said, the performance issue is in the GVFS-fuse
part as evidenced by the difference in the performance when you copied
using standard unix cp which uses  the same C standard calls as Geany
compared to GVFS-cp which bypasses the -fuse part of the system by
using a non-standard interface.
