Yeah, that would be a problem, as AS renders everything clientsides and
uses alot of bandwidth to transfer images to X server. Still we fixed
some speed problems since 2.0.3, so you may try latest CVS or 2.0.4.
If it is still too slow - then you'll have to switch back to AS 1.8,
which was not using as much bandwidth. All thanks to the
<sarcasm>wonderfull design of X</sarcasm>.

Do you still have to do it even though you run ./configure without
--enable-gdb ?
