Package: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.0
I put this in the x2goserver section but I'm not quite sure if it's the right component that suffers from this issue.
In my company, we recently began to experience an issue similar to the one reported in archived bug #673 [1] and on the X2Go-User list [2] back in 2015. The manifestation of the issue is that when a session is suspended, our program that runs in a terminal inside the session is slowed down to a near stop, and abruptly recovers its original speed when the session is resumed. There seems to be a link with graphical components though, and my guess is it's the output scrolling in the terminal that is stalled, and by way of consequence slowing down the rest of the program downstream. To confirm the involvement of the graphics, I tried running glxgears as a test, and while it runs at about 1000 fps while the session is attached, it drops at about 3 fps (!) when suspended. This behaviour is reproducible on a freshly installed CentOS 7 VM; I can provide a VirtualBox VM on which I ran the glxgears test.
What is strange is that we only noticed it a few days/weeks ago whereas we didn't touch/update anything on the machines running those programs and x2go. We have a cluster of 5 CentOS 7 machine + 1 CentOS 6 machine and the issue appears on all of them, including CentOS 6, which hints that the issue might not be related to a specific version of the x2go components.
A quick search for this issue raised at least 2 third parties experiencing the issue; one university [3] announced dropping x2go as of October 2018 because of this, and another [4] is listing it as a known issue, albeit maybe in 2015.
I hope we can find a source for this problem, it's quite critical for us.
