Thank you for the answer. I use an iBook G4 1GHz with 768 MB of memory. In addition, some more tests showed me that inkscape X11- forwarded from a server (bi-Xeon 2.8 GHz) to my iBook is faster that inkscape on the iBook (though just a little faster). so it might well be a problem with my hardware beeing too weak. but still, that's not the smallest computer ever...
On the last point, I've seen the same thing, but in the other direction.
If I run Inkscape on a Linux box and forward the display to X11 running on a G3 Powerbook, it runs faster than straight on the Linux box. I think that it's just a matter of splitting the load between boxes, and things running faster because each is not doing the whole thing.
