Puh, I was glad we could fix that issue. I really could not explain your 
slowness until I read your mail again _very_ carefully ;-).

Yes, I told you that rootless mode is still experimental, but the folks at 
NoMachine are working very hard on getting it to work.

Well, you can use a whole Desktop with VNC, so you can with NX - where is your 
problem ;-) ?

For me NX is already good enough ...

I think this will also be possible with NX, but it needs more work.

While VNC is one big bitmap, NX is text+fonts+windows+widgets+...
