I came here to say what Ryan just did.
X11 < VNC < NX < FastX
My experience with X11 and VNC for on campus connections was that the
speed order was the other way around for those two. Perhaps it matters
which VNC is used.
NX is the Siemen's product or something else?
FastX is a Starnet product and due to a long ago dispute they are on my
personal "never do business with" list.
Just in case this was an nedit only issue I also tried Mousepad
remotely, but the startup was just as slow. The menus would open in one
fell swoop instead of being written top to bottom and then bottom to
top. However, the menus were just as unusable, with long lags after
selecting an item. Window resizing worked much better with Mousepad
than nedit, with the latter apparently doing many more redraws.
So far it looks like the best bet for any major editing is to download
the file, edit locally, and upload. Be that explicitly or via some
remote mount file system.
Thanks all,
