Re: X over ethernet is too much slow...

[Rapha�l Ding�]

I've the following configuration :
- an ASUS mini-pc with FreeBSD on it, 900 MHz, 256 MBytes,
connected on an ethernet local network.
- 2 PC running Windows with X server via cygwin (each with
1,4GHz Athlon CPU, 256 MBytes RAM)
- All of them are connected with a 100 Mbits switch.

Basically in cygwin, I connect to the FreeBSD PC (where there is
loads of software) using ssh and exporting display to the PCs
running Windows.

This works great, but when there are pictures to load over the
network, it takes a really long time to do. For example if I
start rt2_demo (railroad tycoon 2 demo, available on ports),
picture takes about 2 seconds to load. This is a kind of extreme
test, since games usually contains nothing but pictures.

I've been using another configuration where I switched from ssh to a complete xdcmp system.
Loading of pictures is very faster now, in rt2_demo it is quick, so in normal desktop environment it is quite perfect.

I found that increasing sendspace & rscvspace for tcp in sysctl.conf did not change anything, and my thought is that it's got something to be with udp/tcp.

Any thoughts on what could affect X performance so much with tcp ?
Did I misconfigured something ?

Thanks,

Raphael
