I'm sorry to say that there isn't ... CPU usage is ok as long as I'm
not actually doing anything with the connection. Just trying to move a
window or opening a menu will spike it immediately.

The performance is worse than it ever was, dragging a window drags the
window manager's title bar first, then the rest of the window hobbles
/ smears after it in layers - you can watch the UI draw leisurely.
Scrolling is completely impossible as the scrolled info sort of
topples over itself.

What am I doing wrong - it can't be that unusable for other people?
Reminds me of the one time I had to use VNC over a 56k modem ... brr.


Using dedicvated VNC screens I sometimes forget that I'm not working
locally. Even videos can be previewed, if only at a few fps.
