Are window operations sent across the network, even when
the destination machine is the same as the source?
They are sent on the IPC channel, yes. Some companies have
shared-memory IPC when client and server are on the same
machine, but V11R2 does not include such support.
Is there a way to optimize these window operations, either
batching them or not sending them on the network at all?
Well, they should be batched by default.
For example, when using Xtk, video inverting about 30 Command (Button)
Widgets takes about 7 seconds!!!!!
Since (as seems so usual with messages like this) you give absolutely no
hint about what server, OS, etc. you are using, and you don't provide
example code to demonstrate the phenomenon ...
