Thanks, that was really helpful. Now I'm trying to interpret the  
results :-)

What operations does the "Blit" time include (i.e. what is actually  
being timed)? On the server side blitting seems to be the limiting  
factor, but on the client the blit time is often close to zero. I  
don't really understand this, but I'm assuming that server side and  
client side blitting are different operations.

Similarly, exactly is the "Recv" time reporting?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

cheers - jc
