I'm not entirely sure how BerryTerminal works, but since ARM cannot execute x86 code (i386 build of LTSP), I'd guess that it uses LDM and some kind of RDP mixture. You can build a AMD64 kernel, but I find this pointless, as i386 is compatible with all clients, as in extreme cases we have a couple of super old 32 bit machines kicking about.
What window manager do you use? As the X server runs on the local client, a heavier desktop will probably leave the system without any memory, good examples of heavy desktops are Unity and the like, along with Gnome3.
