<back after a long absence...>
the one potential disadvantage of SSH is that it is over TCP, not over UDP. As the transmission (e.g. 802.11) degrades the encryption correction/recovery compounds with TCP correction/recovery. Extra CPU cycles and some packets are spent/wasted.
This is only a problem on dirty/poor sessions.
In two years of operating this way, I've "suffered" it maybe two three times. openVPN or IPSEC would have suffered it better.
