My experience is different. You can ssh (with X forwarding) from MacOS 
terminal application to remote machine. When you start anything that 
sends back X11 stuff, then on local machine XQuartx starts, then X11 
stuff pops up. XQuartz stays up, so it is only the first X11 application 
started on remote machine that has a delay waiting for XQuartz to start. 
XQuartz stays up on local machine even after you disconnect from remote 
machine.
