I don't think so.  I was doing this natively.  x2go was nowhere in the
picture.

As I was saying, when you view natively the kernel gives high priority
to display, so although the browser is pegging the cpu you can still
have a good user experience.  When you access remotely using x2go all
the processes involved in getting the remote display back to the client
do not enjoy the same level of kernel priority I'm afraid and so they
run slower and you notice this at the client.
