Depends on what exactly you're tunnelling and how fast your connection
is, of course. If you're sshing to piglet over your modem and running
netscape on piglet and displaying it at home via X, yes, that will be
horribly, painfully slow.
If you're running Netscape locally, and using ssh to just tunnel the
NNTP connection, which is the way I'd reccomend if you want to use
geraldo from off campus, then the speed will be approximately as good
as it would be if you were just connecting to geraldo directly (if
this were permitted.) Make sure you turn on compression with the -C
flag - most modems do compression now, but after your data has been
encrypted it can't be compressed, so you need to make sure you do the
compression before it's encrypted.
