if you are working on a local network there should be no noticeable lag at 
all when editing a file - perhaps you should investigate the cause of the 
lag.

do ensure all your rpi sw is up to date though

i use putty to ssh into all my pis and pizeros - and have never had an 
issue with lag even when weewx is running together with web server and 
MySQL or a gui is running to display on a touchscreen - never any issues at 
all, although on two of the rpi's I do use a hard disk rather than the sd.
