Yes, I don't know what smart --gui means, but try connecting with -C -Y to the linux machine and see if that helps. -C enables compression (possibly not needed here) and -Y enables GLX. You might also try using xauth instead of ssh authentication. Q.v many earlier discussions on this list and elsewhere for how to use xauth. :-)

I am new to the Mac world--I got the latest 8 cpu MacPro and expected it to rock.
But, trying both XDarwin and the Apple X11 on the install CD, I get
glacially slow performance. It took over 3 hours to finish running
"smart --gui"  on a remote Linux machine!
I have a fast Comcast internet connection (8 Mbps down and 750 kbps up).
This looks to me like the performance I used to get on Windows using
Xwin-32 before they implemented support for the render extension.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to get remote X to
work at reasonable speeds?
