I don't see this speed difference. I type this on a P466 Celeron Win98SE 
with a remote KDE session via xdm on a RH7.1 (and I can type very fast). 
We have different Windows NT,98,2000 and on all XFree performs quite well. 
Did found some speed impacts caused by Norton AV on W2k and ZoneAlert on 
W98. Seems that processes watching network traffic slows down Windows 
dramatically.
