Probably.  I don't know how XEmacs currently performs, but certainly
10+ years ago when I first tried it the X11 display was _much_ more
sluggish (and cluttered) than GNU.

Unfortunately GNU has lately been aping some of the XEmacs clutter,
such as having a toolbar.  The toolbar can be turned off easily
enough, but I find that when you do that at startup it causes the
window to shrink a bit rather than simply replacing the toolbar's
space with text.  Only happens this way at startup, though; like some
sort of race condition.
