For me, at least, my latency is almost zero. As in I never notice it. Doesn't
matter which app I'm in. I set the compression level to its highest setting,
and let it ride. The only time I've noticed a slowdown was in the screen
update process in MindTerm. Same settings, other ssh programs, and no
difference visible.
