Thanks, Bill.
I tried it both ways (with- and without compression) but no significant
difference. The cpu load is around 9% for ssh on the send side (Linux ->
Windows) on a dual 2.8GHz Xeon machine with 5 GB RAM and one logged-in
user. No other significant processes running. I'm beginning to suspect
that the problem might be on the Windows side, since Win would have the
task of decrypting the incoming traffic.
Cheers,
Denis
