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.

I read this and thought “who cares”?

I use ssh everywhere, maybe establish 200+ SSH sessions a day for my entire career of 20 years and never once have I thought “I wish establishing this connection was faster”

Good for you.

There are a lot of automation use cases for SSH where connection setup time is a significant impediment; if you’re making dozens or hundreds of connections to hundreds or thousands of hosts, those seconds add up.
