Smile Re: Very slow remote X Firefox using ssh -X

If you wish to use OpenSSH, and you're on a trusted network, use the -Y switch instead of -X. By referencing from the OpenSSH manual, the -X switch implies heavy security checks and this creates latency in order of the extra checks. But by using the -Y switch this loosens everything a bit. Try it out.
