	If you are testing ssh over tor, your performance is going to be
	as fast as the slowest node in your circuit.  If you're
	suggesting doing a straight non-tor ssh tunnel, then the
	performance will be generally based upon transit and cpu
	performance of both ends of the tunnel.

	There's no better way to find the answer than simply trying it
	out.
