Just curious... any have any real world expereince with VNC -vs X over
SSH? 

I tried X over an IP Tunnel and it was really, really slow. 
VNC over the same tunnel was fairly snappy. I was pretty 
disappointed with the performance of X Windows over that 
link. 

Do you guys find X over ssh comparable to VNC? 

Thanks - jack
