way. Otherwise you will be looking at quantity, which I would imagine the
default SSHFS uses the -C (compression) flag, so that would be difficult.

My bet is that the servers are in no way communicating with one another
because I can broker 2 sshfs connections between 2 different unreachable
networks at the same time, so all traffic is going through your laptop.
