> Is taking 20% of an H30 processor just to keep it idling. I use VNC all the time on my PC based X desktop. I do not see the high idle time. But there may be one or two processes started by KDE that are not completely happy with VNC. VNC does lack certain extensions that KDE wants.
There may be something stuck in a kind of retry state. If you could kill that off, things should be better. Also, see what happens if you disconnect VNC. SSH into the Linux host and see if VNC idles down. > VNC is complete enough for about any type of "windowing". > But it is a resource hog. ... I have to bow to the conventional wisdom that says that you don't want desktop work handled on zSeries. Still, there are places where you *want* a VNC X arrangement on the mainframe. Specifically, any X apps that are "chatty" would be better served by VNC on zSeries (things where there is a lot of X traffic between X client and X server; with VNC that would all be local to the mainframe), just for one example. -- R;
