I agree with all the tridia vs vnc(regular) comments. However, if you
really want to see a speed improvment, go to http://www.tightvnc.com and
download the latest beta tight builds for the server and client. The
new beta builds, which will hopefully get put into the next version of
Tridia VNC, fix some of the artifact problems that some have mentioned,
but more importantly, it is much faster.
The main addition to speed IMHO is the addition of local cursors.
Basically, the client handles drawing the cursor. The server sends the
cursor only when it changes. This save huge amounts of bandwidth and
makes interacting with a high latency computer much much much
easier(make that possible). If you have ever overshot an OK dialog
button, then you know what I am talking about.
I support computers all over the country and connect to machines on T1
lines via my DSL line. The tight betas are 4x faster than any other
version of vnc. Even on my local LAN, I perfer the new tight over
Hextile. The latency is slightly worse, but the screen draws are much
faster, espically with Jpeg turned on.
Const Kaplinsky, thanks for implimenting the cursor feature. I have
been requesting/arguing/hacking for that feature for 3 years now. I
highly recommend that the VNC programmers look at some of the work he
has done and include it in the next version of VNC.
