In the interest of not sending in *too* many bug / support requests, I
thought I'd ask some questions on this list.

Anyway, I've been running IM Remote on my work desktop (FC5) and my home
desktop (FreeBSD 5.4). On both, the remote is noticably sluggish,
especially when switching to or moving a window -- feels like running
VNC over a slow connection. And not only that, but it seems to hog a lot
of CPU / memory on the machine, to the point where opening a new
terminal window and getting a shell prompt is slow.

Is this just a limitation of X (or Java, or something else)? Are there
any settings I can tweak that are only client-side to improve
performance? So far, I (think) I can only find a setting for animation
speed server-side. Is there a different knob to tweak somewhere for how
fast each client machine tries to contact the client?

On my Mac laptop, and on Windows, the remote is faster, though it's
still a little sluggish on Windows.

I am using SSL; I would consider switching it off if folks think that
would help, or would reduce CPU consumption significantly.

Here's the top of "top" output from my work machine.

I'm happy to provide more specific information if it's helpful.
