P75 to P133 10 meg ethernet, both systems idle:
ssh -1 = approx 2 seconds
ssh -1 -c blowfish = approx 2 seconds
ssh -2 = approx 6 seconds
ssh -2 -c blowfish = approx 6 seconds
Best performance gain, if you don't need the enhanced security, is to run
ssh protocol #1 instead of default #2, rather than playing around w/
encryption types.
