It looks like the buffer space in your tunnel device is full.  Is the
SSH stream still running?  If you stop transmitting traffic does it come
good again?  Are other normal connections to that machine affected?

You might also like to try picking a fast cipher (arcfour is usually
fastest of the standard ones) and see if that makes a difference.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
