So-called "lightweight toolkits" like Swing are much harder on network
bandwidth than "heavyweight toolkits" - solving the same problem in AWT
would help, if you can live with the limited selection of widgets. Also,
using the LBX extension (low-bandwidth X), which is something you set
up completely outside Java, is a good way to improve X's bandwidth usage.
