I find running GUI GNU Emacs over X11 over ssh to be really pleasant, even moreso than using tramp (which occasionally hangs for no understandable reason), with the only problem being that highlighting text is a bit slow and balky. Otherwise, it's indistinguishable from a local Emacs in responsiveness.
