What was the application?  The benchmark I'm using is Enigma (a very 
silly SDL game) - if it is playable then the thing passes, if not then 
it fails.  Of course, I want the whole desktop so I'm running startkde 
and playing^Wtesting enigma from there.

Over ssh without compression it's more than a bit dodgy, even over this 
100MBit LAN, however with compression it just about works.  Using 
straight X11 it flies... :)  (The hub goes a bit potty though...)

Use a /proper/ mail client then. ;) That would take you /straight/ to 
the bottom of the post....  :)
