[X2Go-User] Compression method guidance

[Tristan Miller]

Dear all,

X2Go supports an awful lot of different compression methods.  Is there
any guidance available for which compression methods work best in which
scenarios? I didn't see anything on the X2Go wiki but it's possible
I've overlooked it.  I can't even find a description of what all the
different compression methods actually are, though I'm guessing that
most of them are named in the format
bits_per_pixel-image_compression_algorithm.

For my own use, I usually use X2Go to run individual applications (not
an entire desktop) remotely.  These applications are primarily
text-based, such as terminal emulators, text editors, and mail
clients.  The remote machines have upload speeds of about 3 Mbit/s.
Would it make sense for me to choose something png-based rather than
jpeg-based?  256-png perhaps, since I am not looking at any images
other than toolbar icons?

Regards,
Tristan
