Keeping the diary on a remote server

[Rehceb Rotkiv]

Hello,

is there a reasonable way to keep the diary for `calendar' at a remote 
location? I have tried using Tramp to access my diary by setting `diary-
file' to "/ssh:myserver:mydiary". It works, but it does not make much 
sense to run a full-blown Tramp SSH session just to show the diary (and 
it takes quite long to open it). Does anyone know a better way?

With best regards,
Rehceb
