Linux Journal continues an examination of NX technology. This article delves into NX Compression, NX Cache and NX Roundtrip Elimination. "Before, we asked, "How important is round-trip elimination?"

You now should be aware of how much the latency of any link, especially a slow one, weighs in to make a remote connection feel slower with every additional roundtrip that takes place. Every roundtrip saved is a little boost for GUI responsiveness."
