Unless you're using an obsoleted SSH protocol in version 1, setting 
CompressionLevel does not make any sense - SSH protocol 2 has 
compression level hardcoded to 6, and you can't change it.

And unless both machines (BackupPC server and the other side) are *very* 
loaded, changing cipher specification will not change anything, either.
