[ale] X remote

[Dow Hurst]

X is pretty intensive on bandwidth due to screen refresh.  You can try 
not using compression if you are currently.  You can use a faster 
algorithm for your encryption.  I would just experiment with what is 
available.  You could dump SSH and try a VPN solution such as IPSec, 
CIPE, or Vtun and see if that helps.  There is a lbproxy in the X 
distribution that is supposed to cut back on the amount of info that is 
needed to redraw the screen.  It was designed when modems were still in 
fashion.  DSL and cable broadband have lowered it's profile some.  I'd 
love to hear others opinions on this.  Sometimes the info that needs to 
be passed won't go thru SSH such as GL calls between SGIs and the dgld 
daemon.  OpenGL works okay just the GL won't.
