Hi Mathias,

Sorry, for this late reply. Your mail somehow slipped through.

No, we did not conduct any bench mark or alike. There are many  
personal experiences around, though. Latency is more an issue to X2GO  
than bandwidth.

Furthermore, xrdp encapsulates the VNC protocol, so it is an XVnc  
session that gets ,,converted'' to RDP. (which then gets converted to  
X11 on the client, in case it's an Linux machine). So, this looks  
quite awkward. X2Go uses a compressed and cached X11-like (NX) protocol.

You may find some information on the NoMachine website [1]. X2Go's  
graphic stuff is based on NX 3.5.

Greets,
Mike
