NX has several levels of compression. You might a nxclient configuration of zero disk space and 128mb of RAM usage coupled with no encryption and set for LAN speeds. I wouldn't look for much of a performance boost on the LAN, but consider what happens when the user turns off the thin client. Or moves to another location and wants to access his Firefox session from another desktop. FreeNX can be detatched from and rejoined later from another location. Session persistence, I like to think of it as. Thanks for sharing the results of your work. I hope to travel in some of your footsteps running NX technologies on the thinclients.
