    My guess is with client server it will still be a little problem.  My
    roomate commented that pixmaps seemed to make things slower.  I agreed
    with him.  This was over a local connection -- e.g. the crossfire
    server and the X server on the same machine.


I disagree. The reason pixmaps are slow is because of X overhead.
the reason fonts ar quicker is because of font mechanisms to reduce X
overhead.
With client/server models, there wil be NO X overhead. hence no problem.
