I didn't do any measurement, simply because I didn't notice any big 
problem with performance, and I saw no noticeable difference between the 
linux x server and xming.
In both cases the connection is tunneled through ssh without 
compression, which, if anything, should make things even worse.

No such freeze here (wait, I saw something similar once on the 
production machine in another project, but it was gtk1 that was busy 
substituting fonts or something, fixed with a .gtkrc, never saw it with 
gtk2)

The version of xming I used is 6.9.0.23 but I doubt it makes a difference.
I'm surprised with your results, I didn't tune anything, everything was 
configured automatically by mandriva. I'll see if I can try to run 
lazarus itself remotely, just to check if my experience matches yours.
