Compression. One is an uncompressed protocol, the other is highly compressed.

Is it more than if you use the -X with forwarding?

@johnhooks Another is that NX will support disconnected sessions and resume them when you connect back (much like MS Terminal Services / RDSH).

That's something I should have put together myself, but I'm too stupid to see lol.

NX also does things like tunneling VNC and RDP too.

@scottalanmiller I'll have to try it on my VM when I get a chance to restart my computer...Oracle Vbox is being annoying, machines won't start except for right after a reboot of the host OS. Haven't figured out where the issue is yet.
