I agree, in my experience VNC has given better performance than X through the standard network transparency feature.
If you have the need for a remote desktop setup in the future, I'd recommend checking out NoMachine. It's closed-source, but from what I've seen so far it offers better performance than VNC.

- effie 10y agoThere is also open-source software for this, such as https://xpra.org/ https://xpra.org/
- ZenoArrow 10y agoAre there any benchmarks you know of that compare Xpra with NoMachine?
- effie 10y agoI don't know any except my subjective experience with Xpra and pure X forwarding. Xpra was a little cumbersome to setup and use. Some programs benefited a lot from using it (Firefox), some actually got less responsive (Geany). This was roughly one year ago, so it's possible Xpra got better since then.
