It's totally related to sshd.  IF I telnet in, even with 3 big compiles 
going on, all tty responses are snappy.

If I ssh in from OSX terminal application, the term chosen is 
xterm-color, everything is laggy.
Doesn't matter if I come in thru WAN side or LAN side.  Or maybe it's a 
termcap thing.  I'm not sure how to look into that, I don't bother with 
X, this is just a headless fileserver mostly.

IF I telnet in, from LAN or WAN, it's snappy, although through WAN side 
is a tiny bit laggy occasionally.

I guess I'll swap a cable; but I would expect that telnet would lose 
the connection pretty fast, it's not good with packet loss.  pings 
inside the LAN are fine; pings to the cable modem are fine but stop 
there of course.

I haven't checked which is being used to encrypt the ssh but I assume 
MD5.  I know I can set that, somewhere.  I can't believe that would be 
too much math for the box though :/

Thanks for thoughts.
