OpenSSH's client traditionally set TCP_NODELAY for "interactive" sessions
(where "interactive" means "has requested a pty", although that's
becoming less and less useful as an indicator). You can try forcing
pty allocation by adding "-tt" to your ssh command line.
OpenSSH 4.4 and newer set TCP_NODELAY unconditionally.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
