My tests show they are about the same speed on most architectures.  I
do have arcfour as the first cipher on the list for SSH2, but
SSH1+blowfish is much faster than SSH2+arcfour.

My testing also show that arcfour falls behind om Pentium IV, where
blowfish is the fastest.  In fact arcfour on Pentium IV is slower than
arcfour on Pentium III.  Is that just my OpenSSL library, or do other
people get the same results?
