Maybe that's just my experience, but I've used patched OpenSSH (scp, to be exact) that had "none" cipher on GNU/Linux, as a no-brainer tar+netcat pipe replacement for two PCs connected with a patch cable (so, no security was necessary), and it had saturated the link well. Default cipher suite ate the CPU and gave terrible performance. So I doubt the author's statement about the worth.
