speed? Unencrypted transmissions are significantly faster than their unencrypted counterparts, and on a local lan, protected by firewalls and whatnot, where you have root control of all systems, you really don't need encrypted transmisisons. You'd have to be rooted to be vulnerable, and then the damage is already done. //Anders
