We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

No it doesn't hit the network but it still uses IPC and the same protocols as if it were. Saying that it doesn't hit the network is like saying that it doesn't format your hard drive. True, but hardly relevant.
Latency, caused primarily by the protocols it uses for IPC is the main culprit for bad user experience.
Graphics cards and drivers can be at fault some times but 2D performance which is what should be used most of the time still now is a solved problem and 3D support in X11 a lot more than enough for drawing windows and controls.
X has other problems such as applications going down when it dies. One would expect a network protocol designed by 3yo'lds would keep that from happening. And it would be great to have "that" network protocol in our desktops. Just not X or at least not Xorg.
