Indeed, it speeds up X-11 forwarding over my 4Mbit internet connection. Now my remote apps are actually usable!

This tip made a huge difference. Now I can use the vmware server console on my mac. Without this it was unusably slow.

This does indeed speed up X11 forwarding, even when tunneling over the internet!
