Dario,
One solution that I haven't tried is to use VNC remotely ...
With the standard GemTools network traffic between your local client and
the remote gem corresponds to #changed: messages triggered by OmniBrowser.
With VNC the network traffic would involve updates to this display, so
it might not be faster, but it is worth trying ..
With that said, I agree with Sean that having a local test system for
doing development (based on an appliance if you don't have the extra
hardware) is very useful for resolving the "infant mortality" bugs
before introducing your changes into production.
Additionally, for remote stones, you should learn to use topaz to do
some of the routine operations ... topaz is command line based and does
allow you to do anything that you can do from GemTools like executing
smalltalk expressions and using a debugger (even browsing and changing
code .... not as nice as using a browser)...
