Crossclient and telnet are equivalent in speed for playing crossfire
right now.  No flags are really going to speed things up for you very
much, except the difference between font and xpm graphics.  Font
graphics are most certainly going to be quicker.

The reason is that crossfire's client isn't really a client right
now, the server simply sends over an X-window.
