In case you did not catch it, "bogomips" is short for "bogus MIPS".  In
other words a worthless measurement pf speed.
The processor used in the Pi 3 actually runs  at just a little over 1 MIP
per GHz (more or less.)

If you are seeing poor performance with remote X11, I'd suspect poor
network in performance.  The best networking performance will be to use a
USB 1000 BaseT dongle You will not get full gigabit level performance but
it will outperform the built-in 100 BaseT interface.    Then make sure you
have a gigabit switch going to the PC.   The advantage here is that you are
NOT running an x-server on the Pi 3.  Any work you can off load from there
Pi 3 is good.   Check memory usage using "top"

The Machine kit people (if I understand it correctly) are breaking up
LinuxCNC to run as a set of independent processes that communicate with
messages.    If Im right then it looks like the goal might be to have the
ability to run the GUI on a different computer then HAL.  This is the best
design, not exporting the display, but the entire GUI program.
