Thanks for the advice. It seems that

xpra attach --encoding jpeg --quality 5 --auto-refresh-delay=1000 ssh:example.org:7

is usable even after I have limited the bandwidth on the server using

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 512kbit latency 20ms burst 60kbit

Even with

xpra attach --encoding jpeg --quality 5 --auto-refresh-delay=1000 ssh:example.org:7

I see only very minimal artifacts, I'm sure I used to see much worse
quality in the past. Is it maybe ignoring --quality 5 and assuming
--quality 70 or something?
