Re: slow paints despite fast hardware

Yay

I guess I am confused like the other folks on what else you could do to
tune up Cygwin/X.  Just to limit the scope a bit - do you run slow xterm
even just by opening up a local xterm on your Windows XP (display
127.0.0.1:0.0)?

The local xterm (the one that anchors the server) is fast.

 Remote Konsole - super slow
 Remote Gedit - slow
 Remote Xterm - fast!

At a guess, are some programs pushing pixels across the wire, to
assemble text, while some programs use the local fonts?
