Over time, many people have complained about the X Window system; the X Window system, or Xorg in its current most popular implementation, is the layer between applications and the graphics adapter. It has some fantastic features (like the ability to run application over the network) and some shortcoming.
One thing is sure: it has evolved over the last year or so, immensely, especially as far as 3D and hardware acceleration."

Running X over the network can be *very* useful, but one need a local network to get decent performance. Optimizing X for networks would be something I should do if I had the technical knowledge and time available.
