I'm also trying to use raspberry2 as client in latest weeks.
With lz4 (for now server-side need some patches backports) is acceptable
on old low resolution screen but on new (or at least what the users

I'm trying to see if can be improved using hardware acceleration or make
possible use more that one core (I'm trying gstreamer support patches
that seems can make something about)
