It's neither of those. The diskless workstation does it where the thinclient fails, the connection is gigabit ethernet. It's definetely the remote vs. local thingy. > Especially apps that use multiple threading in Java seem to launch too > many processes. > > Furthermore, Java uses its own widgets and hence all window elements are > transmitted as bitmap graphics (as opposed to other X widgets) - AFAIK. > > I wonder if there are tweaking parameters for the Java VM - or faster > alternative VMs to be used? There is. I got a very useful hint on debian-java: http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2010/05/msg00020.html It works for me. Unfortunately I'm not very happy with the icedtea plugin for iceweasel and prefer the sun-java6-plugin (yes, I know it's non-free, but it works and performs better). Anyway, I solved the problem by switching from ltsp to x2go. I'm not done with all the details yet (mostly sound forwarding doesn't work yet), but the java apps run remotely as smooth as locally.
