What Would Cause Poor Performance (Remmina) Over SSH?
Hi, Folks.
I'm tracking Debian testing on my personal systems and on a desktop
system I use for remote admin chores. This past week I saw the venerable
tsclient get reclassified by aptitude as obsolete, so I removed it and
its dependencies, then installed remmina and its dependencies.
I really like remmina, but I have run into an inconvenience. If I use
remmina directly on a local system the remote desktop sessions on
Windows clients are very responsive. But when I use an SSH -X session to
connect to my remote admin system and then launch remmina on that remote
admin system, the remote desktop sessions on Windows clients are very
slow (by comparison with tsclient sessions which were really snappy).
Using remmina on the remote system results in my watching the danged
Windows screens and admin applets repaint themselves about three times
every time I select or activate something. It's really ugly and slow.
Ugly I can deal with, but slow not so much.
Would anyone here have an idea as to what's causing the poor
performance? I'm not seeing heavy CPU use (on either the local or remote
system) or high memory use.
Regards,
Gilbert
