For startes, Windows graphics system is not network-aware,
unlike X.

This makes it necessary to use VNC, RDP and friends to
access remote desktop on Windows, but makes graphics system
faster when local access is in place.

With X you have built-in network accessibility, but,
as far as I know, it's one of the factors making it
slower.

OpenGL should provide fast X graphics.
