Why are you bothering to use SSH over a trusted LAN?  K.I.S.S. and use
something like RSH!


As for speeding up SSH, the best way to do that is to not use horribly
inefficient floating point code to do your crypto -- and the easiest way
to avoid that inefficient code is to use security/ssh2.  This makes SSH
fast enough to use on a Sparc-2, so it should help on a lot on VAX as well.
