I would concur with JVP, I have my 3 machine tool computers mounted with
sshfs for file sharing, and do 90% of my gcode work on them with an
ssh -Y shared key login. 2 of those machines are relatively slow dual
core atoms that are configured such that normal sw only has access to
one of their 2 core's, with the other being dedicated to the realtime
parts of LinuxCNC. No noticeable lags. And I don't see lags that could
be caused by https-anywhere as I browse the net often enough to
discontinue its use.
