You are very much right about what you said. Yes, I use Swing/AWT. Let me be more specific about this problem: The missperformance does not appear if I run the application fully on the local machine. It appears only over the X protocol. I just want to know if this normally should happen, or do I have some missunderstandings. I mean: the app run on a Unix machine in both cases. If the GUI is running locally everything is ok. If the GUI is running remote over the X protocol the interaction with the user is very slow, also the drawing of the controls.
