I've found that both FC1 and 2 were painfully slow to do remote X apps through Exceed if they used the GTK2 antialiased fonts. Apps which used standard X fonts were plenty quick, and if you changed a slow app to not do anti-aliasing then everything got a lot quicker.
If you're only after a terminal in X then try an xterm rather than something like gnome-terminal and see if this has any effect.

I never found a good way to do this. Actually what I'd really like would be a way to selectively turn off the fancy fonts for any non-local connections so that things still look nice when I'm sat at the machine, but still work well when I'm connected remotely.
I'd be delighted to hear suggestions of how this might work.
Simon.
