I agree with you James, I have an AMD XP 1600MHz 256Mb main box and a Pentium 166MMX laptop with 160Mb connected through a 100Mb/s lan and I have found TightVNC faster/more responsive than "normal X" in a linux to linux or in a linux to Exceed over windows config. (I use KDE over it and it's a little bit too heavy, but as it has enought ram and my girl loves it,... it's OK)
