I did some more tests with the suggested ciphers:

[root@cyndane ~]# yes | pv | ssh titan -c aes128-ctr "cat > /dev/null"
0:00:10 [14.2MiB/s]
 
[root@cyndane ~]# yes | pv | ssh titan -c aes128-cbc "cat > /dev/null"
0:00:28 [  23MiB/s]

[root@cyndane ~]# yes | pv | ssh titan -c arcfour "cat > /dev/null"
0:00:20 [30.9MiB/s]

It would seem arcfour would be the better choice for my setup.

Thanks again for the pointers all!
