[FreeNX-kNX] RDP and FreeNX - poor experience compared to direct RDP

[Chetan Venkatesh]

Greetings!

I've done  some testing of RDP over NX (connect to a Windows XP/2003 Server
using NX client on FC4 ->FreeNX  Server on RHEL ->RDP on WinXP.  I have
found that the performance of RDP over NX is very poor (upto 5 times slower
to start  applications as well as generally laggy feel (this is over a 150
ms latency 256 Kbps Internet Link ).  Straight forward RDP how ever seems to
provide a much better experience (using rdesktop to connect directly to the
XP server).  Some of the FreeNX material (Kurt Pfeifel's article in
particular - the arrival of NX) and even NoMachine's marketing material say
that NX makes RDP work better.

Any suggestions or ideas on what settings would  give us a performance boost
using RDP over NX?


Regards
Chetan
