"ssh -X root at server"

Really ? It must be *really* bad then - have you actually tried it ?
X was designed from the outset to work over slow (and potentially 
laggy) links and is fairly efficient.

You might also try setting the geometry when starting mythtv-setup - 
IIRC it's "--geometry 800x600" as a command line parameter. Using a 
smaller window may help (dunno if the bitmap images get rescaled on 
the client* or not).

* In case you don't know this, when talking about X, your PC where 
the display is happening is the display server, the remote host 
(MythTV backend in this case) is the client.
