I've found that both FC1 and 2 were painfully slow to do remote X apps
through Exceed if they used the GTK2 antialiased fonts. Apps which used
standard X fonts were plenty quick, and if you changed a slow app to not
do anti-aliasing then everything got a lot quicker.
If you're only after a terminal in X then try an xterm rather than
something like gnome-terminal and see if this has any effect.
