Nope, XMing works perfectly if you export the display to localhost (the default) and it's really fast, it even has GL support with MESA , with hardware acceleration.

It doesn't. It's outdated and not free. This should be way more known: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/

I found apps using xming in a VM to be quite laggy, not fast to the point where I could use them regularly. e.g. SublimeText.
