Hello,
I've recently upgraded OpenSSH to 10.1p1 on macOS Tahoe 26.0.1, and noticed
an issue with my client configuration:
Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/.control-%r@%h:%p
ControlPersist 15
When I connect to any host with PTY allocation, the terminal is severely
lagging - every character is being typed only after 5 presses. Setting
ControlMaster to no removes this problem, same as calling a command using
"ssh host my-command", git clone etc.
