actually an anecdote: The performance degradation was so important in my case, that synergyc started reordering the X events, jumbling what I was writing:

"Dies sollte ein verdrehungsfreier Satz sein.... mal sehen, ob man den nach einer Weile noch lesen kann"
came out as
"Die ss oslltee iennvrerdhugfreieier Ssataz senn... ml eh,ob man den nach einer Weile noch lesen kann"

...which by the way seems weird to me, as synergyc ought to receive a (TCP!) ordered bytestream of events... so there seems to be an additional race condition? Is synergyc splitting up the received data onto multiple threads? o.O

It happened using semantik and vym over synergy on hardy + backports on a connection with about ~60ms delay (don't ask ;) )
synergy version was: 1.3.1-2ubuntu2
kernel was vanilla (yes, flame me! ;P ) 2.6.26.5

starting synergyc with sudo resulted in very smooth mouse movements and no jumbled input... so it must have been this issue...
