GdkImage vs. pixmaps, speed.

[John C Atkeson <jcatkeson juno com>]

  I read that pixmaps are kept in the X-server's memory, not our
programs'.
  
  Does this mean that if I plot 100,000 lines to a GdkImage (then load
the finished raster) it will be significantly faster than plotting them
straight to a pixmap?  
  On the assumption that interface speed between X and its clients is the
bottleneck here, especially remote X.
    
   (I'm plotting 60,000+ little glyphs in a window, so speed is an issue,
haha.)
  
  Gracias,
  John
