Oh, I understand that.  Local IP connections are generally much faster
than external IP connections.  As for the data overhead, it's not
significant IMO, considering the payload is tiny.

If you mean memory overhead, it won't be that much.  People run SSH
daemons all the time, so the libraries are already loaded.

There are performance and memory hits, yes, but they are minor
compared to the gains I listed earlier.

Did I understand your objection correctly?
