Performance over forwarded X11 is extremely slow

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a feeling that excessive component/display refresh may have something to 
do with it.

Easy to duplicate, SSH to remote host with X11 forwarding enabled and 
Transmission daemon running locally.

Start transgui

It takes 30 seconds for the display to finish loading, over local network.  
Page up/down in the file list for a torrent with lots of files takes 10-15 
seconds to respond.

Trangui 2.2

I tested on a local 802.11G wireless network, the server this is running on has 
little load (quad core Intel, 8 gigs ram... mostly idle).  I'm fairly sure it's 
just something that transgui is doing that doesn't play nicely with forwarded 
X11 display.

This is the problem in Lazarus GTK2 GUI, which is used by transgui. 
Unfortunately it can not be fixed by me.

Thanks for the info..  I hadn't looked at the code, didn't realize this was 
lazarus/FPC.  I may be able to fix the GTK2 code...
