[Xquartz-dev] Speed of copying from Mac OS X to X11

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Interesting.  I wonder what is bogging it down.  Unfortunately, I recall you're on ppc, so you're stuck on Leopard, and there's not much chance of anything like that getting fixed for Leopard.

When did this start to happen?  Perhaps you've got something mucking things up.

For seconds the last contents fron an old copy action is available. When copying from a PDF, for example in Skim, it can take tens of a second, without spinning beach ball which would indicate that the system is not operable at the moment. It seems like the copy action itself is deferred. X11 seems to work OK and reasonably fast.
