[Lilug] Speeding up remote X11 over intercontinental connections

[Justin Dearing]

Hello all,

Long version: In the UK is a linux boxthat I often ssh into from Hoboken,
or Cranford VPNed into Hoboken and develop against. tmux and vim are great
for 99% of my needs. Sometimes I just want to run pycharm for
reasons.Sometimes I want to run tmux from terminator. This basically works,
but there is a lot of latency.

My laptop is running Windows 7 with putty and the latest paid for Xming32
build. I turned on ssh compression. The server is running centos 6.6 with
EPEL, some scientific linux stuff and the pythong 27 and python 33 SCLs.
Other than using VNC instead of a rootless X11 server, is there anything I
can do to reduce X11 latency? Is there any troubleshooting I could do?

Thanks,

Justin
