RE: PC vs Mac Client - Slow Macs?
I apologize for sending this again but wanted to replay to everyone. I use the VNC vine server 2.2 on the Macbook Pro 17 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo HD screen 2Gb memory and Leopard 10.5.1. For the client I use Chicken of the VNC 2.04b. I see the mouse stick after the Mac has been on for a while. I will have open only Safari, VNC server in the background and maybe mail. I started watching the processes in activity monitor. When the kernal_task increased in CPU from 4.1 to say around 7.8 the mouse would stick. I looked at other processes to see which process was also increasing. I noticed two process Vine Server and WindowsServer. WindowsServer process would increase slightly and the Vine Server CPU process would increase the amount of the kernal_task increase. Then the kernal_task would decrease back to 4.1 after a few seconds. The CPU increase and decrease cycle continues on a frequent basis of every 30 seconds or less. Only restarting the system will clear the issue. Also when using spaces, Vine Server will sometimes create multiple processes. Haven't fully traced down the issue on that yet --- James Weatherall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dale, Anthony was referring to perfrmance issues with the VNC Viewer on Mac OS X, not the server, I believe.

Yes, I have notice using Mac OS 10.5 that the Mac kernel will go from 4.7 to 8.2 (example) and a similar increase in processor activity at the same time with VNC when it is not in use. It causes the cursor on the Mac to hesitate or stick temporarily. There is definitely something going on with VNC Server sitting there is the background when it is not even in use. Dale --- Antony N.
