I've never had problems with running X on Win. Have done
so since XP days, and still do so under Win7.
I use cygwin's 'X', but it supports glx/3D graphics accel as
well so even glx progs run fairly well.
Of course much depends on network speed as well, but
anything on a local connection w/gigabit speeds should
be fine. A 100Mb connection was easily fast enough for
editing/vim work.
Recompiling gvim on my linux box is on my todo list. Suse's
gvim implementation is slightly broken if you don't have
their version of perl installed since they refuse to use
dynamic loading for perl (they do for other langs but not
perl!). I tried to give them a patch a few years back to
put perl in the same group as python/ruby, et al. by only
trying to dynamically load it if the user used a perl feature,
but they refused -- which made their version useless for
text editing if you didn't have their perl version installed
(cuz vim wouldn't start).
Anyway, my vim is still in the 7.x era, I'll be interested
to see if the 8.x version works as well.
