That could be, but ssh1 is really sluggish once the connection is
established, in comparison to ssh2.  I've got a couple dozen hosts that
I regularly ssh into, and for some reason, ssh2 just feels much faster.
Not quite the difference between using Solaris and Linux on an SS20, but
close (Linux just feels so slow on that machine).
