::: VNC doesn't "stream raw bitmap data" :: This makes me wonder what it actually does... :: stream compressed bitmap/pixmap data? : That'd be nothing new, and that's what I implicitly included when I : said "raw bitmap data". Whether the data is wrapped up in (losslessly : or unlosslessly) compressed packages or in uncompressed packages, it's : still raw bitmap data.
AIUI, vncserver will do fill regions, and scroll regions, when it can intuit the higher-level description of what's going on; the ability to do this will vary a bit. Whether you count scroll and fill operations as "compressed bitmap" operations is another issue. As to performance, I've found vnc is at a performance advantage when there is high latency. Because the acknowledgement of X protocol operations occurs locally, because the X server and app are on the same host. It is possible it does this short-circuit of acks better than freeNX in some cases. Mind you: I don't know that it does better, but it could. Certainly it can outperform unenhanced X protocol.
