Folks,

I am impressed to see a considerable performance improvement in file
transfers after upgrading my system to OpeSSH 4.0( running on HP-UX). I
measured the time taken to scp ( using host based authentication ) a
file of 40 MB through 100 mbps local network, on average it is

OpenSSH 3.9 : 4.22 secs
OpenSSH 4.0 : 4.15 secs

(measured with 'time' command )

Jus curious to know that any performance enhancement is incorparated in
OpenSSH 4.0 and Is there any addtional ways to improve the performance
to save the time.

Advanced thanks for all your views.
