To Phil and Pedro: Just for the record, virtually all of my results I reported were run using an X-terminal (a zero-cost [someone threw it away in my direction], low-power computer whose disk drive is now a USB stick) for display, keyboard, and mouse, with the application running on a comparatively more powerful remote computer (my wife's computer "raven" in the same office, the 9-year old 2.4GHz box I have referred to before). However, a couple of times I shifted to her computer and keyboard so I was running the app and displaying on the same computer, but that never made any noticable difference in the results. <Semi-rant> So the classical X "network neutrality" appears to still be working at least on Debian Jessie, although the way X has been moving (toward Wayland, etc.) on Linux, that extremely useful network neutrality will just be a low-priority afterthought in the future. I blame this bad trend on the X developers never touching or seeing low-power boxes of any kind. :-) </Semi-rant> Alan __________________________ Alan W.
