Yes the problem is with my client: odroid C1: it is slow anyway (without xpra
but direct web access) on youtube without Opengl ES acceleration... only with
Opengl ES does it give a correct HD experience ...
I's a pity but i think i'll have to wait for improved hardware low cost small
boards to reach the perfect low cost polyvalent client that will work with
xpra... hope coming soon
thank's again

the server is very powerful and the link is just an ethernet cable .... so in
principle the bottleneck can only be the client ( Amlogic ARM�
Cortex�-A5(ARMv7) 1.5Ghz quad core CPUs ..
But even with no compression it's slow (?!), so i'm going to investigate with
another machine as client ...

Try "--compress=0"
Then I guess you need to figure out where the bottleneck is:
* are you CPU bound on the server? On the client?
* is your network maxed out?
etc..

This is not planned, yet.
