Robert this is very interesting.. mainly because I wasn't aware there was such a thing as a low latency kernel. Guess with linux you are always learning. However, I have an experimental question. Is it just the kernel on the video transmitting side, the client/receiver side or both that the low latency kernel has this impact? Also, if the video server side is linux with a low latency kernel then what would a client running x2go on a mac or a windows 7 machine experience since neither utilize a linux kernel ?
Thanks for sharing as I had always figured it was a latency problem but I assumed it was 100% due to the network itself.

I hope I've done this in a way that doesn't steal anyone else's thread.
A while back someone posted that they had somewhat jerky video through
x2go, and I posted that if I watched someone on youtube over an x2go connection, with a 20 mbit/s cable connection, on a Ubuntu 14.10 client accessing a Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS server, I also had some jerkiness to the video.
I have installed low latency kernels on both machines now and that
eliminated the jerkiness. I can now watch a youtube video on a remote machine
and have it display smoothly even with the highest quality setting set.
Just posting this so if others are experiencing this problem this may be
a viable fix for them.
