I think that "limit" is just FUD - can anyone explain where it comes from? With persistent SSH connections, the overhead of SSH encryption should be comparable to other encryption methods.


It could be that SSH isn't as good as, say, HTTP servers, when it comes to handling a lot of connections. However I'd also like to see data on this.


The overhead of spawning hundreds of SSH processes can be pretty extreme as well.


By default it won't spawn SSH processes but use paramiko instead (python module that implements SSH).


Ssh is good, I think it is scp'ing that kills the master?
