Why do you expect something that you run on a remote linux server to
finish quicker because of a faster local machine? (That's a real
question) I would expect a "remote" app to be bottlenecked by the
speed of the remote machine or the speed of the network.
In general, the best way to get a networked service to work faster is
to increase the speed of your network. AFAIK, the networked part of X
was designed for local-networks, and is very latency sensitive, so
it's not just bandwidth you have to worry about. For X, as I
understand it, all the bandwidth in the world won't help you if you've
got a 250ms latency.

I am new to the Mac world--I got the latest 8 cpu MacPro and expected it
to rock.
But, trying both XDarwin and the Apple X11 on the install CD, I get
glacially slow performance. It took over 3 hours to finish running
"smart --gui" on a remote Linux machine!
I have a fast Comcast internet connection (8 Mbps down and 750 kbps up).
This looks to me like the performance I used to get on Windows using
Xwin-32 before they implemented support for the render extension.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to get remote X to
work at reasonable speeds?
Thanks for the help,
Jim Rome
