Hi ssh list,
I have been experimenting with using ssh2 (v2.3 from ssh.org for Win32
running on WinK) to forward IMAP to a linux imap server (port 143).
I notice that performance is abysmally slow. I do this and run a
netscape
mail client, I find that clicking on a message the delay before it is
displayed is several seconds!
If I then do a direct connection, on the same machine, i.e. bypassing
ssh2 forwarding performance is instantaneous.
Is this a known problem with SSH2? Something to do with small chunks
of data? (A typical imap request to download a message is probably
small).
Anything I can tweak to speed it up?
I have tried it now on 2 different win2k boxes and get the same effect,
if I try on a win98 box the problem goes away!
thanks
Karl
