slow remote XEmacs (was beta configure options)

pretty well if I turned off the toolbar, menubar, and scrollbars. I can't
do that very well anymore even over a cable modem nowadays. Bummer.
21.4 was working okay for me remotely using gnuclient, with scrollbars
and menubar, until my employer changed the VPN system. IIRC, latency
went from 20ms to 100ms or more. I also noticed that there would often
be a bunch of network chatter even though the desktop had been idle for
the better part of a minute. I eventually gave up and went back to
using tty mode for remote access.
With cable modem you might also be running into bufferbloat.
I see a redraw issue with a local XEmacs 21.5 that has Xft enabled. For
example, after doing C-x 5 b +action RET, it looks like the "+action"
buffer gets drawn multiple time before things settle down. I guess this
is the same issue Steve T. mentioned, though I'm not sure.
