IMHO in most cases low network bandwith also means need for encryption. 
Therefor using the built in compression of ssh or equivalent is imho more 
efficient than putting compression in X11.

Things are totally different in the local case. The local case is compared to 
the network already high bandwidth / low latency. But even in the local case 
bandwith might be a limiting factor. I think that in the local case improving 
the IPC mechanism is the main goal. E.g. in contrast to what most people 
think SYS V SHM is _not_ the fastest IPC mechanism on Linux.
