Hi
I am interested in pursuing the performance of X windows with
repect to the communication overhead and local/remote processing
split.
1. Where is the protocol definition documented ?
2. Have any studies been conducted on the topic posed above or
similar topics ?
3. Do different vendor realizations differ in a non-trivial manner
with respect to the communication/processing split posed above ?
Do different releases ( i.e R3/R4) differ in this matter ?
4. Have any studies been conducted on the performance
of X or other windowing systems on wide area networks like
the Internet ?
(I realize that this is a very vague question ,
I have not defined performance here, but I am looking
for *ANY* studies )
5. Is this a valid performance question ? What are other performance
parameters of interest to the community ? ( Read to mean - Am I
asking stupid questions ? :-) )
6. If this is not the appropriate forum for asking these questions,
what is ?
Email replies will be appreciated. Enough interest will warrant
posting a summary.
Thank You
