Thanks for the relevant info.

I have a vague recollection that Firefox is more memory-hungry than Chromium. And if so, that may explain why Chromium is the default browser for Lubuntu. But I'll just try Firefox to see how it compares on this.

With fully updated Lubuntu 12.04 on a server with an AMD 3400+ and

scrolling in Chromium 18 on the terminal is choppy.

The same result on a terminal with Celeron 500 MHz and 196MB.

This is the case even with mostly text content, like a page of Google
results.

Scrolling on the server is very smooth.

This is a test setup with just one server and client, nothing open on
the server, and a 100 Mbps connection.

Anyone know why and if I can fix it?

Yes, I have also noticed that.

There is a bugreport,
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28544 , quoting:

Comment 25 by e...@chromium.org , Jan 26, 2010
Chrome has a different drawing model than other browsers (due to the sandbox, 
web
pages render as images).  It means that it is unlikely to ever perform as well 
over
remote X as other browsers.
So basically, you'd rather use Firefox on LTSP.
