I've been running this setup for a few months now. My reasons are
different though. I hate windows, love OS X, Hate IDL on X11, love IDL
on windows. My problem in optimization of this system has been with
parallels support for hardware OpenGL acceleration. I was thrilled
when the new shader objects came out in IDL v6.4 only to be
disappointed that parallels did not initially support OpenGL and later
in that only OpenGL v1.5 was supported (Shader objects require v2.0).
The parallels development pace is rapid though and I'd expect v2.0
support will appear at some point. Other than that, this setup is very
responsive and reliable. The best solution would be for ITTvis to
develop a native (non-X11) OS X version of IDL.
