Like I said, a very simple and obvious hint.
[robg adds: For those who don't know, VNC is a way to control one computer's GUI from another location. RealVNC is the official home of the software, but they don't offer a Mac server (just PC/Unix servers and clients). Redstone Software, though, makes an OS X VNC server called, simply enough, OSXvnc. There used to be quite a few Mac clients, but the only one I'm aware of with any recent activity is Chicken of the VNC (CotVNC).
You may see another speed boost if you tell your VNC client to only display 256 colors. In CotVNC, you do this via the Connection -> Connection Profiles menu option, then click on the Colors tab. Even if you can't stand 256 colors, try Thousands instead; you should still see an increase in rendering speed.]
