I launch the viewer from a shortcut that has the settings set to 8bpp as well. I guess I could try removing the -depth 8bpp and see if it slows things down. I seem to recall I set it to 8bpp after playing around with some other settings as well, but I'll give it a shot. thanks

When Mozilla is selected, the palette will switch to what Mozilla wants. When another app is selected, it will switch to that app's palette. I'm surprised that switching your server to 8bpp makes any noticable performance difference. Are you sure you didn't mean to set the VNC Viewer to request low- or medium- colour, while leaving the server to use 16bpp internally?
