Bug Description

Running remote X11 applications (more pronounced on those built on top of python-tk or tcl/tk) connected through ssh -CXY in the recent 24.04 resulted in extremely slow performance, which makes it almost impossible to work.
My computer that is affected, was based on xubuntu 20.04LTS and upgraded constantly up to 24.04LTS

For testing, I prepared USB sticks and boot on them (Try ubuntu) so as to have a clean system

Look the following screen recording

The first time I am trying with lubuntu 24.04LTS USB stick
The second time with xubuntu 20.04LTS USB stick

the difference in performance is visible.
