Yes you where right: I didn't pushed my tests further because I first had a glance
(with iptraf) to a former application using a 258KB photo as a wallpaper; iptraf
showed peaks up to 300KB/s at most (no ssh), and 180KB/s at least (ssh+xephyr),
while average was taken @ ~33KB/s.

The same "test" (opening gambas, launch the application and play a bit with it)
with FreeNX settled in MODEM mode showed peaks up to... 20.8KB/s, and most of the time
its instant debit couldn't event be measured by iptraf, as it stabilize its counter 
toward 1s slices.

So the (very) big winner is FreeNX (in any way, because if it was a PITA to get it
working, once it was done I could easily test a whole session or just an application.)

My only regreat was with dxpc I wasn't able to correctly run, which docs (and pgm) 
are outdated and collides with manpage or other docs; as there were several changes
in program that don't mix together (seems that it is in fact the ancestor of NX.)

FreeNX is also the  big winner in term of reponsivity: my application showed even
faster than through a Xephyr client withOUT compression neither SSH!

I did not thought its efficiency was so impressive on overall performance.
