dxpc will speed things up even more. dxpc compresses the X *protocol*
& that gets you more then compressing the bits. Here's some directions
I wrote to remind myself:
---------------------------------------------
remotely working on a laptop
login to <work system>
set display to laptop's IP
dxpc -f
set display to <work system>:8
on laptop:
dxpc -f <work system>
back on <work system>
run X apps to display on laptop
---------------------------------------------
I used to use term once upon a time too. You have to modify your app
to do that. Those days are over thanks to things like slirp (a slip
emulators).
