I use X redirection to run some apps, but it can get dog slow with

I use VNC to remote into my Linux boxen and my neighbor's PC for quick
tech assistance. Again, terrible choice for anything involving bitmaps,
but it's a bit better for apps that use non-system fonts.
I use RDP for accessing my friend's encoding rig (Win10). Still dog-slow
for bitmap stuff, but for anything else it's fast as hell even when the
latency of the Internet is taken into consideration.
For stuff that may require working with graphical previews (such as
trimming videos for remote encoding) I use NX.

Unless VNC has evolved it's just nowhere near as snappy as RDP. Can anyone
speak to that?
I'd be stoked if X11 had an RDP extension or
something. I have no idea if
that makes sense but RDP is the shit.
Check out VNC - you run a "server" on the remote side, and the VNC client on
the client side. The advantage is that everything you run stays running on
the remote side.
