[Beowulf] OT, X11 editor which works well for very remote systems?

[David Mathog]

Off Topic.

I need to do some work on a system 3000 miles away.  No problem 
connecting to it with ssh or setting X11 forwarding, but the delays are 
such that my usual editor (nedit) spends far too much time redrawing to 
be useful.  Resizing a screen is particularly painful.

Are there any X11 GUI editors that are less sensitive to these issues?

If not I will just use nano or vim.

Thanks,
