Who cares as long as you can saturate the network??? My dual PII-366 can 
saturate a 10Mbit network using the slow default cipher (aes-128) and Ian 
is doing this over a WAN.

If you really care about reducing encryption overhead, then use blowfish 
as the cipher (as someone else pointed out in this thread).

Also, with ssh you get an extra layer of error-correction (It MACs each 
packet).
