Reading <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=895>
indicates, one shall set `process-connection-type' to `nil'. This is
also documented in Bugs 2056, 2503, 2639, 2717.

OTOH, the comment for `tramp-process-connection-type' says that it's not
applicable for Tramp.

Hmm. What happens, when you set `tramp-process-connection-type' to `nil'?
Does Tramp still work on your mac? How fast?

Best regards, Michael.
