Sure, every application you run has the magical DISPLAY variable set
in its environment, including Terminal.app if you don't overwrite it.
Just run ssh -Y ... from Terminal, and it will forward X11 for you.

It should be, I think. It would be interesting to run Activity Monitor
(you find it in /Applications/Utilities/) while this is happening to
find out what process is doing the actual CPU hogging. Click on the
CPU heading to sort processes by CPU usage.

Good question; I am a little bit fuzzy on font caching myself, so I'll
let someone else answer that one.
