No flames to you :-) My personal experience differs from yours. However, recognize that X is a network GUI as opposed to Windowz which is an "integral" GUI.
Even on a single workstation X is running as a client/server model. Essentially every keystroke, mouse event, screen draw action, etc. must traverse all but about two layers of the OSI model. So the amazing thing is that X performance is so comparible to Windoz.
