I believe it's higher. It's especially visible if transferring multiple smaller files, as each download requires a separate new connection (no data connection reuse). I'm not sure why WebDAV is less popular. It has its oddities and implementation issues but it's nowhere close to FTP weirdness. And AFAIK WebDAV support is either built-in or readily available to install in all mainstream OSes.
