Adding to Heasley’s comments here. You can transfer via SSH based methods and increase speeds using this command as of 
IOS XR 7.1.x+

ssh server tcp-window-scale

If you read carefully, that is what Steffann is doing. He is doing
'load location:file' + 'commit'. He is not punching anything by hand.

So the answer we are looking for is how to make that go faster.

In Junos answer would be 'ephemeral config', but in IOS-XR as far as I
know, the only thing you can do is improve the 'load' part by moving
the server closer, other than that, you get what you get.

set the tcp default mss higher
use rcpd
remove unnecessary whitespace; ios parser is slow as are the bits behind it
remove comments
