depends on things like processor power and bandwidth. There is no restriction build in vnc (as far as I know). With your current setting, you will see a performance drop at 5 users (different viewers). > > 2)why is the cpu utilization so high? I guess you have some kind of compression on. Put it off to see if cpu usage is lowered. > what is being processed at so high rate? I guess you are using a tool like `top` or an other tool that does frequent screen updates. That updates the screen so the local X11 server does some processing. THat also fires the x0rfbserver which handles each viewer separatly. If you like to see the real performance, do a telnet to the machine from a remote machine (a M$Windows machine with a dos box will do) and do a `top` in this telnet screen. wild guess: you like to use some cpu power for something else? Put the x0rfb processes (and X11 server) in a higher nice level (see `man renice` to do it on the fly). This still consumes the same cpu power but once you reach 100%, the nicer processes get less cpu so there is more for the real stuff.
