Raw by itself is completely useless. However, using a combination of Raw tiles and paletted tiles, both encoded using the Tight encoder, is useful. TurboVNC 0.5 does that for its mathematically lossless modes.
What we found is that there is really no reason to use any encoder other than the Tight encoder. ZRLE and Hextile do not produce any results that can't be reproduced better and faster using Tight. Hextile, in particular, can't perform well, even on the fastest networks, because the tile size is way too small. Sending 16x16 image updates will be bound by the network latency, even on a local-area network.
