OpenSSH configured has been configured with the following options.
                 User binaries: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/bin
               System binaries: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/sbin
           Configuration files: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/etc
               Askpass program: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/libexec/ssh-askpass
                  Manual pages: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/man/manX
                      PID file: /usr/LOCAL/ssh/etc
        sshd default user PATH:
/usr/sbin:/usr/bsd:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/LOCAL/ssh/bin:/usr/LOCAL/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:
      Random number collection: Device (/dev/urandom)
                Manpage format: man
                   PAM support: no
            KerberosIV support: no
                   AFS support: no
                 S/KEY support: no
          TCP Wrappers support: yes
          MD5 password support: no
   IP address in $DISPLAY hack: no
      Use IPv4 by default hack: yes
       Translate v4 in v6 hack: yes

              Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
          Compiler: gcc
    Compiler flags: -g -O2 -Wall
Preprocessor flags:  -I/usr/LOCAL/ssh/openssl-0.9.6/include
      Linker flags:  -L/usr/LOCAL/ssh/openssl-0.9.6/lib
         Libraries: -lwrap -lz -lnsl  -lutil  -lcrypto -lcrypt

I don't really see much of a difference
