As a note, you can use HPN-SSH with rsync. That way you get the performance benefits of HPN-SSH over rsync. I can get 6Gbps over a 100ms path without a problem that way.

@ChrisRapier ssh is security critical software. I would use HPN-SSH if it were packaged and maintained/supported by the distro (LTS Ubuntu versions, in my case). The disto maintainers track often non-public CVEs and patch/update ssh software for you. Compiling HPN-SSH from its source code and deploying it on publicly accessible servers is an extra security risk which outweighs any potential transfer speed improvements it could possibly deliver for me, because I wouldn't be able to track CVEs and patch/update HPN-SSH accordingly.
