>From what I've seen a big hit on networked X performance is sophisticated
toolkits. GTK+ applications for example take ages to load and to run,
while old Athena programs are (relatively) quick. I suspect that this
might have to do with applications loading images onto the X server,
and that playing around with GTK themes and engines might help, but
I've never verified this. So I'd suggest trying using simpler X
applications if this is an option.
By the way, why do you expect that using a different X server
(X-win32-server) would make it faster? I am not familiar with this server.
