Speeding up vmplayer over x11 ssh tunneling with compression

Are you running vmplayer (or any other remote gui) over ssh ?  Chances are it's going to be slow unless you've enabled compression and chosen a faster cypher. this is how you can :

  ssh -X -C -c blowfish  remoteuser@remotehost_or_ip


Performance is significantly improved :)
