What do you mean?  If you're starting the X app on the remote system 
using X-forwarding with ssh, you're running a remote application using 
the remote system's CPU and memory.  If you're trying to do something 
like open a whole X session on the remote system like a remote 
terminal, something like a "remote desktop", you'd probably need to 
look into using something like VNC over SSH or something using XNest 
may work.
