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.
