Typical situation -- want to run on *nix box, box has no display, use eXceed or Reflection X to redirect display to Windows box, run application. Resulting user interactions are beyond glacial in their response time -- horrible to the point of not being usable. Yet it's a pretty ordinary application -- we don't do any tricky stuff or any weird custom UI controls and the UI behaves fine in most situations.

The weird part is that it doesn't always happen. Sometimes it's fine. In any particular situation it is repeatable (and unavoidable), but in a seemingly similar arrangement of technology, it may or may not happen. So at Customer A, it is okay, at Customer B it is unusable and there is no obvious difference from a technology chain perspective.

Anyone see something like this? Any suggestions on how to tease out the actual cause or limit the pain for affected users?

Thanks...Millard

You could use vncserver and tailor ~/.vnc/xstartup to run just your
application, start it maximized and use the vncserver -geometry
option to control the app's size.

Good suggestion, and I don't have any control over what remoting utilities the customers choose to use and we're not likely to take a stance that they must use VNC in their data centers in order to accommodate our application. I need some strategies that work more generically.

Thanks...Millard

Did you try to profile your application?
