There is no additional communication overhead. You have to send the data
packets from the Xserver to the windowmanager anyway. You might notice
a lag with very slow network connections (<10MBit, maybe <64kBit), but
ethernet is fast enough to transport simple X communication.
X11 was developed when 10MBit was a high-end connection.
On the other hand, you now have parallel processing. Machine A encodes
the protocol and machine B decodes it. Its faster than machine A en- and
decodes.
