The "ssh_alt" connection type as implemented by Jerome Wagner greatly reduces the amount of operations performed over connections by not transferring modules as files for many cases. It's pretty impressive.
It can currently be tested on the development branch with "connection: ssh_alt" in a play, or "-c ssh_alt". I would like this to become the default in Ansible devel, to be released as the default in 1.5, in the next week or two. As such, if everyone using the SSH transport (aka anyone not running from RHEL/CentOS/EPEL and still using paramiko), as they normally use Ansible, this will be greatly appreciated. I just recently merged in some tweaks to sudo password detection. If we can get it past encountering any problems, we'll remove the old ssh.py and replace ssh_alt.py as ssh.py, and there will be no more connection named "ssh_alt".
