  * Improving performance with slow X connections
  
! If you don't need X Input Methods (XIM) for entering text in some
! language you use, you can improve performance on WAN links by
! configuring Emacs with option `--without-xim'.  Configuring Emacs
! without XIM does not affect the use of Emacs' own input methods, which
! are part of the Leim package.
  
! If the connection is very slow, you might also want to consider
! switching off scroll bars, menu bar, and tool bar.

  * Improving performance with slow X connections
  
! There are several ways to improve this performance, any subset of which can
! be carried out at the same time:
  
! 1) If you don't need X Input Methods (XIM) for entering text in some
!    language you use, you can improve performance on WAN links by
!    configuring Emacs with option `--without-xim'.  Configuring Emacs
!    without XIM does not affect the use of Emacs' own input methods, which
!    are part of the Leim package.
! 
! 2) If the connection is very slow, you might also want to consider
!    switching off scroll bars, menu bar, and tool bar.
! 
! 3) Use ssh to forward the X connection, and enable compression on this
!    forwarded X connection (ssh -XC remotehostname emacs ...).
! 
! 4) Use lbxproxy on the remote end of the connection.  This is an interface
!    to the low bandwidth X extension in most modern X servers, which
!    improves performance dramatically, at the slight expense of correctness
!    of the X protocol.  lbxproxy acheives the performance gain by grouping
!    several X requests in one TCP packet and sending them off together,
!    instead of requiring a round-trip for each X request in a seperate
!    packet.  The switches that seem to work best for emacs are:
!     -noatomsfile  -nowinattr  -cheaterrors -cheatevents
!    Note that the -nograbcmap option is known to cause problems.
!    For more about lbxproxy, see:
