It is true what you say.  With encryption compression too do you get.

But is it not also said: "Do one task and do it well"?  The ssh(1) command
is doing encryption.  But if plain rsh(1) I used less CPU would I use.  But
plain rsh(1) is a network protocol that is bad.  Passwords in plain text 
are they sent.  So plain rsh(1), on principle, I not use.

But if land on rock and twist angle much slower to the prey would it not
