After upgrading our matlab server from etch to lenny, all matlab versions became unusably slow (we are running matlab in a xdmcp session).
After receiving a hint that this could be xcb related [3,4], I've done something similar as the ubuntu maintainer [1] and created libx11 packages _without_ xcb support [2]. This speeds up matlab user interface tremendously and more specifically the matlab benchmarks for 2D and 3D graphics with a factor 10 and more. Since I don't know wether these packages will cause regressions for other packages (In [3], people mention a.o. a dependency of the gnome window manager to xcb), I've played it safe, and extracted the packages manually on the server (now running matlab with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set).
