Disabling compression in sshd_config didn't do much, maybe .1-.2 MiB increase.

However using arcfour did produce a significant increase as seen below.

[root@cyndane ~]# yes | pv | ssh titan -c arcfour "cat > /dev/null"
 389MiB 0:00:23 [20.8MiB/s]

I'll add arcfour to the ssh-arg path in BPC and see how things pan out.

Thanks for the pointers guys!
