You might also try -imagetype rgb8. For remote display, it should be about 25% faster since it doesn't need to send the alpha channel (which is only used to trigger a fast path).

Try adding this to your command line:

Forwarding an X connection to a PPC Mac from an Intel machine (octagon.sci to sobchak.cs) through 'xhost +' on my machine and 'export DISPLAY=sobchak.cs.utah.edu:0' on octagon gives me a blue tinted display. Anyone seen this before?
