Further analysis reveals that TigerVNC's Compression Level 5 and 6
(which are basically identical when JPEG is enabled) can already produce
roughly the same compression ratio (within +/- 5%) as the maximum useful
mode in TightVNC 1.3.x, so actually, I think the only thing that might
need addressing here is the fact that the higher Zlib levels are not
needed for Compression Levels 7-9. I can find no dataset for which
moving from CL 6 to CL 9 in TigerVNC produces more than a 5% increase in
compression ratio, and generally this move increases CPU time by a
factor of 4-5. Thus, I would suggest the following modification, which
extends the Zlib levels from CL 6 through CL 7-9 as well:
