I meant the extra "security" mile.  I have no need for the extra security
since I'm on a closed network with virtually no chance of outside intrusion.
Let me rephrase that:  I'm on a closed network with only one user.  i.e. I'm
the only person that uses the machines on my network.  So, security like ssh
just adds extra load to already taxed 68k processors.

I suppose there's the performance argument.  Cleartext is processed much
quicker and requires fewer processor resources.
