VNC just does a basic bit-copy of the screen for the remote side so it
is not particularly efficient, although it might be better if you are
mirroring a real console instead of running a virtual session set up
by vncserver.   NX/x2go have a full proxy/stub X server and client at
both ends with tunable caching/compressiion on the remote side.so
things like font rendering and block moves for scrolling are much
faster.  X2go also can map audio/drives/printers if you want.

Both are packaged and fairly easy to try on CentOS 6.   On 7, only
x2go is available and it has a problem with the 3d requirement of
Gnome3 so you have to use KDE or install MATE from EPEL.
