Hi Alberto, It would be useful if you could try a non-Cygwin X server (e.g. a Linux or Solaris workstation). If X from under Linux appears fast, then the slowdown could be between your network card and display (probably Cygwin's fault). If X from Linux is also slow, the problem may be with the propagation of the X protocol between your network card and Hector (probably not Cygwin's fault) . --=20 Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts.
