VNC has had compression since long. But it's weak on encryption, you 
either have to use a VPN or SSH tunnel or a server and client that fit 
together. I found that you don't need a VNC server on CentOS 5 to make use 
of VNC. There's a server built in the Gnome desktop (called vito or so, 
don't remember exactly), so making use of VNC is much faster and easier 
than going with NX. It seems to support compression as well. But it's not 
secured.
