Which X11 version did you use?
I tried mine and can only confirm your oservation. Compared to the X11-gtk+, 
Carbon is just so slow :-(
Unfortunately, I didn't get gtk2+xft to work yet, so the fonts look kinda ugly. 
But I'll work on it :-)

I hope that the native one gets faster in the future, somehow I dont really like 
the X11 look in between all the Cocoa/Carbon apps.
