I've literally never found anything better than the NX-based NoMachine (I think version 3 was the last one to support it). I'll never understand why they downgraded themselves to yet another desktop video stream. If you can find a copy of the older version or one of the open source replacements (freenx? x2go?) it's worth it.

I was able to use my home computer lag-free at my highschool when it was at home sitting behind a shitty ADSL connection. Later I used it at college with my computer at the dorm with a 100k/sec upload cap (enforced to discourage student file sharing). It pulled some dirty tricks with X forwarding, caching pixmaps, and jpegging the hell out of the individual elements, but it really felt like the computer I was using was right there.
