kill-region/kill-ring-save take an age on remote-displayed X

Forgive me if this is a common question. I didn't see it in the FAQ. I'm remote-displaying an XEmacs (21.4 patch 8, though I tried a 2.5.11 with the same results) from a SPARC running Solaris to a (24-bit) laptop, also running Solaris. kill-region takes an inordinately long time, depending on the size of the region and (I think) the speed of the link. It's not uncommon for a pararaph to take at least 10 seconds to go away over this DSL connection. If I snoop the network while the kill-region is going, I see an awful lot of traffic going back and forth. Is this a common problem? Is there any way to fix it?
