I'd say that they are worse than, say, what made X11 4.x almost unusable on any pipe tighter than a T1 hard line (even a fast Token Ring would choke on it, that in the times when 10MB Ethernet was the domain of the NCSA... :-). And that's the reason why I suggested TightVNC, performance is acceptable with a 56K modem link, and it defaults to using SSH tunneling, so for practical purposes you obtain a cheap VPN.
