I'll get the round trip time info later--hopefully I'll have enough
energy tonight.
I put the source (and Windows executable) for my test program here:

I'll see if I can do that today, at least for LAN results.

Well, I'm looking for real-world performance, not just high numbers
in my tests. Since other SSH clients are able to achieve higher
numbers consistently on the same client and server hardware,
I do not suspect filesystem performance as a factor here.
