I should also add that the performance under SGD is not going to be very
good for 3D applications, unless SGD's image streaming technology has
radically changed in the last few years.  When I last played with it
(2007 timeframe), it was able to stream a whopping 1-2 megapixels/sec
with VirtualGL, more than an order of magnitude slower than TurboVNC.
Here's wishing they would integrate libjpeg-turbo and provide that as an
option, perhaps configured on an application-by-application basis,
because I really like SGD apart from the (lack of) performance.
