You might want to change the protocol:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
You might be able to accelerate things by adding HW acceleration:
In the Section "Module" part:
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
In the same section, make sure TTF fonts are switched on:
Load "freetype"
Below the Section "Modules", add this:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
FWIW, here's my entire /etc/X11/XF86Config file missing the mile long
comments in parts and sections entirely commented out:
# **********************************************************************

# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
