I was skeptical of the claim that it's faster than traditional SSH, but the README specifies that it is faster at establishing a connection, and that active connections are the same speed. That makes a lot of sense and seems like a reasonable claim to make.

If by being faster at making a connection it would reduce latency even if a little, it would mean a really big improvement for other protocols built on top of it like rsync. If Rsync reuses an active connection to stream the files and calculate changes then the impact might be negligible.
