After watching that video, I think someone should send that to Mark Shuttleworth. Seriously. That video right there actually made me excited for Wayland.

Before I was more on the 'meh' side of things.

One thing he points out that I thought was interesting, was the compressed bitmaps. I always thought that old X11 (Motif/Lesstif) did that already. X over SSH was really fast way back when, but with GTK / Qt applications it's horribly slow. He explained that really well.
