Most of the overhead comes from the fact that you type too slow 8-) your
typing is transmitted (and echoed) character-per-character, with SSH
protocol frames, TCP, IP and AX.25 headers around them. Joerg's axssh
makes the input linemode, which helps a lot. Add -C compression, and it
should be tolerable.
