Have you tried VNC?

Please file a bugreport with instructions how to reproduce this 35%
permanent cpu load issue.

Now, any ideas how to improve that situation?
How can I run java applications like the example above remotely _smoothly_
OpenJDK Icedtea6-1.8 ships with a new xrender backend that are better
suited for running heavy GUI applications remote across the network.


Try running your application using Icedtea6-1.8 and the following
command line:

java -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True -jar circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.jar

The xrender backend are developed by Clemens Eisserer during the OpenJDK
Challenge


You should also check out the video recordings from Fosdem 2009 for a in
depth presentation of the xrender java2d pipeline. Its cool.

No, because I don't see how I can deploy that in a sensible way for a
Terminalserver project.
AFAIK, I would need a vnc-enabled x-server for every session - not
practicable.


However, I gave x2go a try. Whatever they do, it works!
Java apps are running smoothly. Now I have to work out other issues
about x2go, but that is off-list.

I could not get the icedtea plugin working. No idea what it did, but it
pushed all cpu cores to 100% when I browsed some java enabled webpages.

And iceweasel doesn't know how to handle *.jnlp files when I have the
icedtea plugin installed without any sun-java* packages.

Now that really helped!
This way it was really usable and remotely almost as good as locally.


Now, is there a place in /etc where I can set this option as a default?

You can add

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsun.java2d.xrender=True"

to your ~/.profile

and it will make all java applications use the xrender pipeline by default!

xerxes@xerxes-J464X:~$ export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsun.java2d.xrender=True"
xerxes@xerxes-J464X:~$ java -version
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

Thanks to Mark Wielaard for finding this solution.

Cheers
Xerxes
