I had problems with broken ssh connections (modem to home) when sending X applications through the connection. It went away when I turned on the compression flag to ssh. I have not tried xv, though. Otherwise, I have no troubles with ssh (and it makes life so much easier). I would emphatically suggest to everyone to start using it.
