Ack for very slow machines, with recent x86 hardware running
Linux or alike I can't mention the overhead, connection are made
instantly. OK, if you run some slowlaris box you are happy about
the "-c" switch to speed things up, using blowfish or alike.

Haven't used CVS over ssh, rsync works great through ssh.
