I use Thunderbird at work and it's OK - its performance never struck me as being notably good or bad. I connected to the work LAN from home today using OpenVPN and asked Thunderbird (as an X client of my home machine) to do its thing, but it's taking about 10 minutes to completely paint the window and then every update is just horrifically slow after that - it's completely unusable.
At first I thought it was my ComCast connection or some problem with OpenVPN but when I use Mozilla in the same situation it's tolerable. I tried a direct SSH tunnel (w/o OpenVPN) but no differences. Anybody else seen Thunderbird behave poorly this way? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
