To speed up ssh login time, try adding the following to your ~/.ssh/config:

  Host *
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/auth/%r@%h:%p
    ControlPersist yes

For me this changes connection times from 1.7 seconds to 0.189 seconds when connecting to a host over the internet.

Interesting tip. Thanks!

Note that you might need to create the auth subfolder using `mkdir ~/.ssh/auth`, otherwise it might throw an error on connection: `muxserver_listen bind(): No such file or directory`

Maintains a persistent ssh connection to each host once the first is created. Any subsequent ssh commands will be sent over the existing channel, skipping the time-consuming handshake process.
