Horrible compared to what?
I run it on a LAN (100Mb/s) and performance is "like-I-was-on-the-machine".
I run it over the 'net (256kb/s uplink) and performance is perfectly usable.
In what circumstances do you find that native X performs better than VNC?
R.
MS-RDP and X are both faster in my experience on the LAN. Remotely, X
falls off fast, but RDP is still the quicker solution. I've used RDP
successfully by Webexing from Berkeley to Dallas and RDP'ing from Dallas
to Tokyo, while I've had VNC be unusable between a DSL line in Berkeley
and a DSL line in San Jose.
I'm sure I was just unlucky and there are many users happily using VNC
over three cantenna wireless links and a strand of electrified barbed
wire from Seattle to Chicago, but I went seeking alternatives and found
them. I've had to use VNC at a couple of customer sites in the last few
years and it doesn't seem to have improved, but I'm sure the latest
version fixed anything.
To get vaguely back toward topic, this is maybe illustrative of the
issues some people have with product quality.
