Not slightly faster, but very perceptibly faster. I second Jay that even for
non-demanding applications, plain remote X is perceptibly faster than
ssh tunnelling.
As far VNC, between two Unix systems this is a very unnatural way to
run remote applications. Why would you want to use VNC (or Xnest/
Xephyr for that matter, though these are slightly less unnatural) when
remote X needs zero effort to setup?

The 'net used to be run by smart people; now many sites are run by
idiots. So SAD... (Sites that do spam filtering on mails sent to the
abuse contact need to be cut off the net...)
