I have tried using XFree86 (linux and cygwin) for Cygwin's XFree86 and Linux's XFree86 and have found it to be extremely slow at refreshing the screen making it nearly impossible to use MATLAB's editor reasonably. However, using a MS Windows emulator like Xoftware or Hummingbird's Exceed provides extremely fast response such that it is useable with various programs including MATLAB. Is there a valid reason for this? Is it being addressed?
Also, I am speaking strictly about remote display, not about MATLAB with XFree86 on a local Linux box. Sitting at a Linux XFree86 box it is plenty fast, but remotely it is not fast at all, which makes me wonder why.
