How can it be any faster when it is an *additional* overhead already on top of X? The point of ltsp is to enable diskless workstations and older (read cheap) that can boot via network, and has all the power needed to only run the X server. So your ltsp server app is already running as fast as possible, without the additional overhead on the server of also serving NX.
With NX, as with X11 you *can* mix local & remote apps even for different platforms ! (eg Windows & Linux).
And with ltsp, you can run whatever app you want, including NX if you want to use ltsp to serve up OS for boot as well as NX for access to non ltsp server desktops, (including other OS's).
NX is simply better in every aspect - be it security, performance, ease of use, whatever you choose....
This is like the ol' apples to oranges analogy, you can't boot a diskless workstation with NX. Also, this has nothing to do with OP's question. B-)
