Very slow performance on IE, Firefox and Chrome #126

Very slow performance on IE, Firefox and Chrome. Standard access like logging in, opening taskbar and/or apps is really slow. (e.g. Video is not even playing properly). Is there a solution for this?

@kerbymart We are currently working on improving the performance. Wsgate is just a proxy for the RDP protocol (just a few changes here and there), thus your computer needs to decompress the RDP data using the Javascript implementation that we have. Unfortunately Javascript is quite slow in execution and the RDP decompression algorithm is quite complex.

Hi @kerbymart, performance is generally very ok, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

Being FreeRDP-WebConnect a javascript cleint that renders RDP sprites in a HTML5 canvas, general desktop usage / interaction works well, but playing videos (e.g. youtube) it's clearly out of the scope of the current implementation.

Support for RemoteFX and other improvements are currently being developed to address this type of use cases.
