[winswitch] Growing Lethargy over time with use...

[Anthony Stone]

I have noticed the same problem.

xpra versions 4.3.2 on both server and client
Ubuntu 18.04 fully up to date on both server and client

Connecting using xpra start ssh/<server> --start ...

I usually leave the connection up for several days at a time and it gets 
very sluggish. There are occasional complaints that the network is 
struggling to keep up, but after stopping the connection and 
reconnecting it becomes much more responsive.
