Thunderbird very slow over ssh
by hcgrant from LinuxQuestions.org on (#516B7)
I'm accessing Thunderbird on my desktop (Opensuse 15.1) over ssh (over wifi) from a laptop running mangeia 7.1 and its painfully slow. :( Firefox is almost as bad.
Raspbian on the laptop is even worse!
Idle3, Filezilla, Leafpad and Shotwell run as well as directly on my desktop, as far as I can tell.
The command I use is "ssh <ip address> -X -l <username>
The desktop has no firewall. Wifi speeds are fine.
Any ideas? I'm going to read through the man pages for ssh but i'm no expert.
Does ssh limit transmission ? Can it be changed ?
Its a real pain because I'm isolating away from my desktop, I can get to it but it requires a bit of organisation.
Any help welcomed :)
