I had understood that RSA is cryptographically superior to DSA, at
least unless the DSA implementation is done very carefully (or so says
the PuTTY website).  http://neubia.com/archives/000191.html confirms
that security claim, and shows that DSA is faster for key generation
(100x) and signing (4x), while RSA is around 3x faster for key
verification.
