I assume you use it through a local network where it will be reasonably fast. But then please compare it with any sort of “modern” video streaming approach on the same network as well.

here's the exact same case with VNC, on the same network: even with the smaller resolution and lossy image compression, VNC manages to be quite slower than X11

I tried steamlink on the same network to put games on my TV, and it is barely useable with absolutely horrendous image compression (got a GTX1080 GPU so that's likely not the culprit)
