Perhaps I don't understand - you are at home and the work computer is
trying to write to your home machine's screen?  That would normally be
slow.  When you say aips tv=local is that command on your home
computer or is that command on the office computer with $DISPLAY set
to your home machine?  If it is on your home machine, then it should
be fast.  If on your work machine, then it should be similar to using
the Inet connection.  We are seeing immense problems with Inet on some
systems when it is used inside the same machine although those same
systems talk to other computers (inside the AOC) normally.
