The bottleneck is probably due to VNC itself. I have no experience with the Linux version, but some time back when I was looking for remote control software for use on a MS based network, I tried several different packages. Among them PCAnywhere, Remote Administrator (by Famatech), VNC and some others which I do not recall. Most of them were somewhat comparable in performance. VNC was practically unusable. At least for what I was trying to do over my network. And, my network is at 100 mbps using a switch not a hub.
BTW, though close in performance, RA had a slight edge over PCA. Dan W.
