Does anyone have any ideas about, or is there a web site that will tell me about, the relative speeds of different ways of running X applications across the internet?
Investigate VNC - it was designed for this.
My experience of VNC is that it is actually rather slower than using X directly. VNC also is overkill for what I want to do, as far as I understand it VNC always gives you the complete desktop from the remote (server) machine, I just want a single application.
