X11Fordwarding slow to new desktop running openSUSE 12.3

Hi,

I have just assembled a new desktop and installed openSUSE 12.3. This is to replace an old box running openSUSE 11.4.

Now the thing is that X11Forwarding is really slow on the new box. If I use ssh -Y -C it’s somewhat faster but not as the old box.

The machines are on the same network so router and such are the same.

The new machine has a Gbps network card while the old only has 100Mbps.

I have copied files between the boxes and TP is around 80Mbps so that shouldn’t be a problem…

Hi,

Just to add some findings and clearifications.

The tests have been done with my laptop. The poor performance is when I only have wifi enabled on the laptop. If I connect with a wire, Gbps, there are no problems with performance.

And there are never any issues connecting to the old server, wifi or cable.
