Default Re: Very slow remote X Firefox using ssh -X
Remote X apps typically have poor performance and it's due to the high latencies and the large number of round trips made by typical X apps. Doesn't matter how much bandwidth you've got, the latency and round trips kill performance. You might want to try NX which is supposed to help in such cases.
