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. top - 17:28:03 up 1 day, 5:53, 10 users, load average: 1.90, 1.45, 1.50 Tasks: 100 total, 4 running, 96 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 40.5% us, 50.8% sy, 0.0% ni, 8.6% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1034728k total, 906280k used, 128448k free, 97912k buffers Swap: 1048568k total, 0k used, 1048568k free, 530744k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2084 root 15 0 105m 63m 9112 R 49.1 6.3 477:27.59 X 12863 william 25 0 672m 61m 17m S 40.8 6.1 41:55.68 java I'm happy to provide more specific information if it's helpful. w ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
