I know "-X", but not the others:

- "-C"

Compression, sounds straightforward. Man page says "will only slow down 
things on fast networks.", is that still true?

- "-A"

Man page says "forwarding of connections from an authentication agent", 
sounds straightforward

- "-Y"

Man page says "Enables trusted X11 forwarding.", and now I am confused 
and think I don't understand "-A".
