It updates the screen by sending X commands. If there are a lot of these commands, X has to do a lot of work. Not noticeable except across (say) an ADSL or slower link, when you're remotely administering. If you can make a read-entry limit itself to flagging that a change has happened, and then use a timer thread (sleep() signal, for example) to only fire off an update max twice a second, this will cure it. In this case, working through LBXproxy would not help very much. > You should read this : http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/usenix2003/ Thanks! Cheers; Leon
