Mmm....
Collaborative VNC is something i found websurfing the Internet (not something we developed). As far as I have seen, it's some kind of add-on for tightvnc. So I presume the performance is more or less the same. The only solution I know for slow VNC is migrating to ScreenStreamer (non comercial, or IGPix? on the comercial side... they have different features though). That's what we plan to use when broadcasting to the AG so far. What resolution r u talking about? .... I presume it is higher than 1024x768.... Related to your security concern, it probably has the same security risks than tightvnc: http://www.tightvnc.com/faq.html#howsecure (not too safe then..)

Have you resolved the issue of slow VNC when you have multiple sites? In addition, I have seen a number of issues arising when a presenting site wants to share software or images that require high resolution, such as biomedical applications. Do you have any experience with this? and the final question that users are forever asking me - what are the security risks of collaborative-vnc? I assume they are the same as for vnc, is that correct? Meanwhile, for my other apps I look forward to trying it out.
