Cygwin and X

Hi all!
I have been running Cygwin/X for some time, with very low performance.
In the Cygwin/X FAQ this is explained by the fact that I have a personal
firewall (in this case it's Zonealarm). It is also the process vsmon.exe
that is draining my system while using Cygwin/X. The solution to this
problem would be do disable the firewall, which is not an option on
Win2000 or XP...
Previously I used F-Secure with Himmingbird Exceed as X-server, without
any problems.
So my question is: Is it possible to run Cygwin with the X-server of
your choice, which in my case is Exceed? What do I need to do?
I am quite familiar with win, but not *nix.
Thank you for any help I can get!
/Erik
