The biggest problem I have with Tramp performance is much deeper, the need to open a new connection for every request - it makes integrating other modes with Tramp much more difficult than I would hope for (e.g. I tried to make kubernetes-mode work over tramp, and it mostly did, but each refresh had to reconnect, which would freeze the whole Emacs GUI for a second or so; thankfully kubel-mode has a more complete implementation that handles this gracefully).

I've had this in my config for a long time. Seems to make tramp work a lot better:

    ; use ssh instead of scpx mode for tramp
    ; this should work a lot better with ssh connection sharing
    (setq tramp-default-method "ssh")

This was problematic even with SSH multiplexing?

You still have this problem even with a control master setup with ssh?
