ssh / scp slow on 10GBE

Hello list,

right now SSH Tunnel / scp is reaches just around 76Mb/s on my E5 Xeon 
using AES-NI but openssl reaches around 600-700Mb/s using 128aes-cbc cipher.

As far as i understand http://www.psc.edu/index.php/hpn-ssh this is due 
to very small buffers in ssh / scp.

Is there any work on this? Like autotuning the buffer size? Are there 
plans to integrate the hpn patches?

Greets,
Stefan
