Performance can be choppy and the reason (If I'm pulling out of my memory banks what Brian told me at FreeBSDcon properly) is that there are so many layer, each with its own error correction, compression, etc that wierd bursts and such can happen. > This works perfect to get a normal connection through a one-way firewall > too, BTW. Which is the only reason I use it. An example of the wierdness. if I do a 'ls -l' in a large directory a certain amount of files will be displayed and then display will stop if I lay on the space bar, they'll start moving again. This is not a $PAGER issue (before anyone sends me the man page from more(1)), I believe it is a queueing bogon when you use so many layers.
