The machine definitely does matter, on anything less than a 1ghz box (at 
each end) you'll notice some slowdown.  I dread trying to remote some of my 
166mhz machines, takes forever.  I haven't noticed any significant 
difference caused by using an encrypted connection though.  Sure, it takes 
more bandwidth, but the latency isn't changed and that's what would make it 
feel slow.  VNC isn't the fastest way to remote admin a box, but for windows 
machines it's the only free way to do so that lets you use the gui.  
Terminal services is faster, but you need licenses for that.  You can also 
use netmeeting, but I had trouble getting that to work right across a 
firewall.
