PDF is considered as IMAGE so much of the technics used to accelerate X 
are not used it is simply image transfer.

In my tests if I set NXclient to WAN it could jump to 800K when reading 
PDF setting it to d-up drops down to 300K, but quality drops too.
Note: I tested in LAN environment.
But if you use it for text editing; e-mail reading the average BW used 
is around 64-100K.
In addition you can play with image compression settings.
