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.
