Unless I am mistaken:
VNC traffic is bitmap (whole screen or part of the screen, optionaly 
compressed) 
transfered at each refresh.
FreeNX is compressed/cached XWindow traffic.
I think, although there are bitmaps in XWindow too, you could almost think of 
it 
as bitmap (heavy) vs vectorial (light).
