Hey folks,

I'll try to keep this short.. I waffle a bit when explaining stuff..
Anyway, I love using guacamole it's amazing!

I have been using VNC, RDP & SSH connections all over my LAN and even over 
public IP and while FreeRDP v2 is not yet implemented that still does not 
directly bother me, after trying a number of various Apple Mojave installs and 
using VNC I noticed quite allot more latency when compared to a usual linux VNC 
guacamole instance.. I put this down to Apple not guacamole.

However it got me thinking of ways to speed-up guacamole and after going 
through the source kindly provided online at github: 
guacamole-server/src/guacenc/video.h

line35: #define GUACENC_VIDEO_FRAMERATE 25

-i've modified this myself raising it to 35, 45 & 60 for testing but after each 
re- compile and implementation I see no increase in RDP or VNC framerate via 
the browser, I then needed to back-up with some basic facts with regards to 
numbers because someone coming online and saying they've done this but on 
comparison 'dont personally see much difference' is not much to go on.. Hence 
why installed an FPS counter in firefox but even then, the numbers scared me 
further not hitting even 25 no matter what I tried.. Even then, this could or 
might not be a true estimate based on how youd view the figures.

I was wondering if anyone cared to enlighten me on this subject, line 35 within 
the video.h file seems to get me nowhere, what have others tried? I'm seeking a 
few commercial deployments utilising guacamole and would also love to donate 
profit earned towards the guacamole developers to further development.

Kind regards,
Darren Wise
