Hi List,

doing some X11 testing here which I hope someone could comment.

Anyone got any real life experiences regarding X11 performance of X 
clients running in a guest, but connecting by tcp/ip to the xorg server 
running on the host?

Basically, x11perf, glxgears and such show no real performance decrease 
compared to running the X client on the host itself.

Kind of expected since there is no network emulation layer and no 
traffic running over a wire, but then, I am running all this inside a 
virtualbox environment, so that could be the limiting factor in this case...

Anyone run X on a real host on a decent or Intel GPU, then running X 
clients inside guests and can comment on the performance?

Thanks for any comment, or possible ideas to secure the best possible 
performance in general for graphical applications?
