Hi David,

With the "-R" option, you're still bound to the power of a single core of your
CPU for encryption / decryption. The proposed patch creates a new ssh
connection per thread. So if you have at least 2 cores on your CPU (client and
server-side), you will be able to use 2 times more bandwidth with "-n 2".

I just made some tests to be sure, and the "-R 640" option slows down transfers
(a bit). I guess it's because the transfer speed is limited by CPU power and
not network bandwidth speed.
