When and how did you measure that?

The -Y change was introduced in Fedora Core 3, in November 2004.  The 
default was changed to ForwardX11Trusted=yes just a month or two later. 
  I'm not sure -X and -Y ever behaved differently on Enterprise Linux or 
CentOS.

At this point, I don't think it's even possible to set 
ForwardX11Trusted=no any more.  The X SECURITY extension was replaced 
with "X Access Control Extension" several years ago.
