[X2Go-User] X2Go speed (Gb LAN) vs. pure X

[Łukasz Czerpak]

That's a good question - maybe the problem is not x2go at all.
Anyway, I found 'adaptive' working better in multi-user environment and more responsive in both single- and multi-user environments. Most of my testing was done using Ubuntu as server (within VM - Parallels Desktop). But my customers have also tested in real and found 'adaptive' behaving better. IMHO worth trying at least.

For anything larger (Google Chrome being a serious offender, as it always updates the whole rendering area) it is much slower. Even just scrolling in Firefox is "laggy". Pure X is much faster for these large screen updates. I have tried various settings, 4k-jpeg is almost acceptable speed-wise but still not fast enough.
