Clearly, you have never waited one minute for a full screen update from a
machine half around the planet.
That is what happens here with hextile + an compressed SSH tunnel, just in
case you thought this was pure speculation.
It is pretty obvious why, too: generic compression, such as SSH's, will
never outperform specialized compression, such as tight compression.
