Re: Slow clipboard performance in 21.1.14

When I use the clipboard for cut or copy operations across a network link, the performance is very poor. By "across a network", I mean running xemacs with the DISPLAY set to a remote system. I have noticed a very large number of packets for these operations. The slowness is significant on even fast links. Even a simple C-k to delete a line takes an inordinate amount of time. It is extremely annoying! Any idea what is causing this? I don't recall noticing it on older releases, but I don't do it a lot as I usually use the tpu-edt emulation which has its own commands to perform similar operations and the delays do not show up for them. Any idea where to look? I'd be happy to capture a TCP stream for the transaction. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
