Hello, Gleb.
Try throwing the -C switch on your ssh command. It compresses the
encrytped stream and will result in a speed boost. Not much of a boost,
but it should be noticeable. (In my experience, it's faster than XDMCP
and ssh without -C.)
Other than that, the only thing that can be done to improve X11's
responsiveness is putting both the local and remote hosts on a faster
network.
