At least in my case, the scp method is usually significantly slower: with
`ssh' doing C-x C-s is basically instantaneous where with `scp' it has
a noticeable delay. This is probably because I usually edit "small" files
(~20KB) but the host is fairly far, so the authentication time of scp dwarfs
the slowdown of base64 encoding/decoding in Emacs.
I have no idea if my situation is more or less common, but at least I find
the performance behavior of `ssh' to be more normal.
