One thing that might help there is if OpenSSH had a null cipher like
commercial
SSH.com SSH does. You'd still get secure authentication (using
public key exchange), but then use no encryption for the data transfer once
connected. There are patches floating around for OpenSSH for this,
though they're not very current (or weren't last time I looked)....
Oh, my number one ssh pet peeve. What exactly is technically speaking
the problem with getting this in ? I never could figure out why this
wasn't just an option from the start. It's such a waste of CPU to rsync
30 GB over ssh on a local network.
