Let's see.. my wife's Mac sitting across the room from me; my wife's
faster Mac sitting beside me; or ssh to the bastion machines
at work and ssh from there to one of work's Linux servers.
Good response; very good response; or literally 73 seconds to
bring up Matlab across the network.

Gee, Tim, could I *please* *please* have the option that takes
18 seconds to get a response from pressing a key, and which
drops a third of the keys that I type?
