I have two machines on a wired network. A win xp machine and a mac book pro. Both systems have vnc enterprise servers and viewers version 4.5.x installed with the servers configured to operate in service mode.
When I use the mac vnc viewer app to access the windows machine vnc server and thus remotely control the windows machine, the speed is incredible, like sitting at the actual windows computer. When I use the windows vnc viewer to access the mac vnc server and thus remotely control the mac, the speed is horrible, about 1/4th the speed of the aforementioned scenario. When moving a window or scrolling a page, I can count to "2" (so about 1 to 2 seconds lag) before the scrolled page or moved window updates on the vnc viewer window. Clicking pull down menus at the top of the screen takes several moments for them to appear in the viewer. I have the mac machine (running the vnc server) sitting next to me to test this while I access from the windows vnc viewer, and the screen updates are obviously instantaneous on the actual mac. So the lag is in the vnc connection itself. On both systems, I have the viewers set to 'adapt to network speed'. Even going manual and sliding the slider to 'most compression' does not work. In fact, while reducing the colors and making things hard to read, it actually seems to make the mac vnc server even slower to respond. What should I check or adjust to help increase the performance of the mac vnc server, as this level of performance is nearly unusable..... Thanks!
