*WELL*.

One way to speed up X is to use something like the differential X
protocol compressor. http://www.vigor.nu/dxpc/ It claims to make xterms
and emacs usable over a 28.8 dialip modem.

I don't know if it will tunnel over ssh too well.

Another way is to not tunnel the X over ssh at all. That may or may not
be an option for you.
