The X11-forwarding basically prevents direct rendering. Then everything
is done by the X server which usually supports only some 2D hardware
acceleration. There is also some minor overhead from the network code.
You can test this by setting the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 environment
variable instead. That also prevents direct rendering, but also
avoids the network overhead of ssh.
Another option is to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, that still allows
direct rendering but doesn't use hardware acceleration.
Playing video without hardware acceleration is possible even on some
older PC hardware, maybe not at full screen resolution. 3D and compositing
on the other hand requires hardware support to be useful.

I believe the code there should be changed to simply return without doing anything if specified key doesn't exist, and the assert() removed. Jaromir

It seems to be a problem when repainting tabs that were on particularly complex web sites. I my case, trying to repaint the one from the US National Weather Service (www.weather.gov). Curiously, reloading a YouTube user page works fine. I seem to recall seeing this before and the only way to "fix" it is to at least terminate the Xsession (resetting the server) or reboot the workstation. I tried refreshing the NWS page again and got a little more information when firefox52 quit: [...] i965: Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error assertion "pthread__tsd_destructors[key] != NULL" failed: file "/x/netbsd-9/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_tsd.c", line 177, function "pthread__add_specific" -- |/"\ John D.
