Hey List-
I'm on a SunRay 2FS with two screens with a total of 3360x1050 worth
of real estate running a Solaris (JDS) desktop and a few Windows
Connector screens running in windows on multiple desktops. The Sun
Ray server is a T2000. There are five or six other users on the
8-core T2000, but all but one are on Windows connectors running full
screen (Kiosk mode). The load average is sitting between .75 and 2.5.
I have been noticing very slow window draws. Switching tabs in
firefox takes between a quarter and half of a second. Switching
virtual desktops takes upwards of five seconds with maybe seven
windows open and I can see each window being drawn, one at a time.
The windows connector screens draw immediately. Switching tabs in
Firefox on a Windows terminal server is virtually instantaneous inside
one of those windows; it's like it's slower for X to redraw the screen
than it is for Windows to do it and ship it out via RDP to the X
server which then ships it out to the Sun Ray. The draw times are
virtually identical between having a solid color background and having
a rich image for a background.
This seems very odd to me. Have others experienced the problem? Are
there any thoughts on how to resolve it? It's actually keeping me
only using two desktops because it takes SO long to switch between
desktops.
Rob,
I have the same "problem" on my 1.4GHz/64-thread/64Gb SunFire T5220
(<8 simultaneous users!) when using Firefox on JDS. I am wondering if
the performance was not even better with the trusty old V240s of yore.
How come evolution could have taken us years before with even more
threads and even more memory ?
