Speed is only one consideration. Another that comes to mind is the
ksh-history problem. Hypothetically (admittedly :-) if one had a small
quota on a server which defaulted to ksh (as does my realm), and one
saved a large file with an inline method, one's .sh_history could blow
out one's quota rather quickly ... correct?

That's interesting. How does one configure an inline method to use
compression? IMHO this would be good to have in tramp.info.
