How much of the screen and how often it is being refreshed will also have an impact on it - probably more than resolution and color depth. If users are watching YouTube videos on a remote system, for example, there will be a lot of bandwidth usage, even if you have a very small color pallet. Guacamole dynamically adjusts quality of the display based on available resources and network conditions, so, unless you have some other factor driving it - cost or very limited bandwidth - you shouldn't really have to worry about it too much. You could also consider using something external to Guacamole to adjust this - for example, like has tc that can be used for traffic shaping, which might help with this. But it also may cause further problems if Guacamole is throttled so much that it starts believing there is network congestion and starts warning the user about the state of the network. Unless you're running into a specific problem or cost that is driving you to make some adjustments, you should just let Guacamole handle it for you. -Nick
