I would say if it takes longer launching through nomachine than
launching locally, then the problem is nomachine. This should IMHO be
the first thing you test.
If it takes a long time launching locally the application is a steaming
pile and you need to resolve that first.
We use thinlinc which is a similar Linux remote desktop solution
extensively to provide a Linux desktop to our users with through
VirtualGL 3D visualization capabilities and we do not have an issue with
excessive launch times.
