I can vouch for that

I use nx an awful lot and find it's a lot quicker than vnc or ssh x11 forwarding (I do have the nxclient's disk and memory caching set to the max which may be helping there)

Over the lan there's hardly a noticeable speed difference with nx to using a desktop on the machine you're remoting into
