True. I guess the point I was thinking of is that when using ssh things
may well be limited by CPU performance, which, if the usecase you care
about is a NAS using say nfa, then something with a slower CPU but
better i/o (disk, network) may be more suitable.
I'm not saying that this is the case for the devices under discussion,
just putting it forward as a consideration.
