Bug Description
X11 forwarding slows down Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity desktop whose whole graphic interface (including mouse pointer) repeatedly becomes unresponsive for seconds if `ssh -X` or `ssh -X -C` is used. The symptoms are the same as if the system were using slow swap space which isn't the case (verified with `htop` in another tty which can still be changed). This wasn't the case in previous unknown versions.
