Question: Most of the week I live in the city where I have a typical broadband connection, but most weekends I'm out of town and only have access to a satellite connection. Trying to work over SSH on a satellite connection, while possible, is hardly desirable due to the high latency (> 1 second).

**My question is this:**  

Is there any software that will do something like buffering keystrokes on my local machine before they're sent over SSH to help make the lag on individual keystrokes a little bit more transparent? Essentially I'm looking for something that would reduce the effects of the high latency for everything except for commands (e.g., opening files, changing to a new directory, etc.).

I've already discovered that vim can open remote files locally and rewrite them remotely, but, while this is a huge help, it is not quite what I'm looking for since it only works when editing files, and requires opening a connection every time a read/write occurs. 
(*For anyone who may not know how to do this and is curious, just use this command: 'vim scp://host/file/path/here)*

Answer: 
Very late reply, but I just noticed that my percentage in Resource Monitor for CPU frequency is 129%, which corresponds with my overclock. I have a 3.4 GHz Intel i5 that is overclocked to 4.4, which is a (1000/3400) \* 100 = 29.411% increase over stock speed. Turbo Boost for my processor (the factory boost to frequency) was 3.8 GHz, but this also showed above 100%. Basically, the frequency your processor is listed at on the box and in CPU-Z at its maximum stock frequency (without Turbo Boost) is what Resource Monitor takes to be 100%.
Just to add that on a modern multi-core computer where unused cores are parked (turned off)
to conserve power, the displayed percentage can be much less than 100%.

I have seen values of 30-50% on an unencumbered 8-core computer.
