The problem is that we're going to buffer that in memory anyway, down in the OS layer. The only alternative is to block down there waiting for the client to drain the image data. So, the chunking in DIX is not helping reduce memory usage, it's just making the OS layer shuffle data around a lot. -- [email protected]
