tramp questions

[Ajit Mylavarapu]

Hi,

I am using tramp to access files over SSH. Everything is working mostly 
fine. There are two little problems (if you will), that I observe when 
using tramp:

1. When I open a new file over SSH, it takes a little while to open the 
file up. I understand that this is dependent on the speed of the 
connection and also the responsiveness of the remote box, but is there a 
way to speed this up?

2. Also, sometimes when I am editing a file, the cursor stops 
momentarily. This does not happen with local files. Is there a way that 
I can get rid of this problem, maybe by decreasing the frequency with 
which tramp communicates over SSH?

Thanks for any help,
Ajit.
