Ok. (A very nice document btw. :-) @ Rick Stout)

Where is your server? Which connection do you have to your server?

Is it in the local LAN?

Can't reproduce ;-). Especially in opening a menu not just once, but twice or 
more times you _should_ be able to notice a big speedup.

If you have a 100 MBit Network for example its almost useless to compress the 
images. So you can select in Advanced: "Use plain X-Bitmaps".

What did you expect and which setup do you exactly have?

I _think_ you are running in a local LAN. While NX is still suitable for a 
local 100Mbit LAN and should still do fine against XDMCP or VNC, it was 
designed merely for slow connections from Modem to DSL.

And there for me VNC was unusable slow, while NX was perfectly usable.

But experiences of course may differ.
