I'm not the OP but I'm using ssh without -c. The ssh man page says:
Compression is desirable on modem lines and other slow connections,
but will only slow down things on fast networks.
Ssh goes over a VPN which does compression.
I wouldn't mind having to add a dozen commands to my .emacs
but as far as I can tell, it can't be configured off.
