i didn’t stick with it, though, because it’s slow. it has to go through the ssh handshake every time i open a file, which can take a while.

i tried both inline (ssh) and external (scp) methods, and i tried tweaking it to make it faster, but it was never quite fast enough.

(i also mention this in why I don’t run shells inside Emacs.)
