Hi Paul,
[1] for some reason xv, my usual image viewer, is absolutely abysmal
across a slow link. but i haven't found a viewer i like better.
You've xv(1) running remotely, displaying back locally over a slow link?
It's probably shipping the decompressed PNG or JPEG over the link to
the X server as a Pixmap; considerable bloat. You really need to use a
non-X channel to get the compressed image locally, e.g. scp. Or
thumbnail it remotely before xv tries to display it. Or use a coarse
coloured TTY rendering. A lot of the time the images are superfluous
and don't need high fidelity, high.
Cheers, Ralph.
