I've attached a better trace now. It contains a full Evolution session
from start to finish, and excludes X11 traffic from the rest of the
desktop. I used `netstat' to see which clients were connected to the
Xephyr server before starting evo, fired up a tcpdump, started evo, did
the testing, used 'netstat' to see what clients were connected now, and
exited evo. I then diffed the two netstat results, found the new client
source ports, and filtered the dump to include only those (sport: 37625,
37627).

The compose window display took 17 seconds from clicking on the "new"
button to the finish of the window drawing. The time range was
11:37:30-> 11:37:47

When filtered for evo traffic only things look a fair bit different; see
the I/O graph I'll attach shortly. There are several distinct phases
apparent in window creation, each of which take several seconds. I'm not
sure what's going on yet, and it's far from clear that network round
trips / throughput are even the issue.

** Attachment added: "Trace of evo startup, new btn click, compose window open, 
and exit."
