Are you running remote by using a VNC server on your sparc end that 
using a vncviewer to access it remotely, or are you running X remote 
(sparc connecting to a remote X server)

The latter I can confirm as dog slow. Over a 1 Gb lan it takes minutes 
before the cursor moves one char in the editor. (Responses to 
mouseclicks on dialogs take the same time btw)
This resulted for me to continue laz development using a gtk1 IDE.

When using a VNCserver, it should work more smooth, since all is handled 
"locally" and only display changes are copied ove the LAN.
