Helena,

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to here, but will try to  
offer some response. In the wxPython GUI, you can set it to display/ 
render the maps automatically OR turn this off and render the maps  
manually by clicking the show/display button. This is in preferences.  
Also, keep it in the default render mode and NOT "Constrain display  
resolution to computational settings".

I'm sure that things run slower over a network. But on my local  
machine, the display is much faster in the new GUI than in the old GUI  
or d.rast via an xmon. I would think it ought to be faster even over  
the network. The default in the GUI is to render maps for display at  
screen resolution--often much lower than the map resolution. This  
makes the display nearly instantaneous locally. It should also result  
in less info sent over the network when run remotely. However, I don't  
know how you had xmons configured or the current GUI display  
configured over a network.
