Subject: bug#13677: 24.2.50; workng on remote hosts with eshell is not very enjoyable
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:25:43 +0100

emacs -Q
M-x eshell
cd /ssh:somehost.com:
stat .
stat .
...

Every stat command starts a new tramp process, which, in my case, takes
about 3-4 seconds to get going and renders eshell fairly useless for
this kind of work. 

Can this be changed such that eshell uses start-file-process only if the
command results in a background process and use process-file otherwise ?

This seems to be a follow up to bug #3957.

Andreas
