Yeah, I found it deathly slow, too. The FAQ has a whole speal of things to unbusy the desktop and speed it up, including some stipple-avoiding tidbits for twm (but I suppose the same applies for all wm's).
TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com) works for me when I only have dial-up speeds. Also, my firewall slowed things down unless I restart it after establishing the VNC link (ZoneAlarm). Good luck.
