I use u...@vnc on my server to control and it works fine. I only have 153 checks but they check both local and remote servers and include windows service checks, unix, checks, file count, file properties, HTML, etc.
I do not use the VNC to the server unless there is a problem. We use a web page and email/sms alerts only. Perhaps he was suggesting that if you use VNC to monitor the app while it is running and update the interface too while it is running it would use a lot of resources.

If you suggest NOT running VNC on the servers hosting SA, what do you suggest using as a remote access client? For example, I am in Arizona and my SA server (standard version 6.2.2279 running on Win2k3SP2) is located in New York. Many thanks, Paul- Paul A.

Are you running VNC on the SA server? (Suggest you don't as it has a dramatic effect on performance.) Is your SA GUI set to update the interface during the check cycle in Setup - General - Interface Settings? (Again, strongly suggest you don't as this will *hugely* impact speed - turning this off took our check cycle down from about 8 mins to about 1.)
