In my "internal" version (due to become alpha 6 after some time), I have
introduced another feature which should reduce the "blocking" behaviour.
As well as splitting updates as per alpha 5 (which mostly helps on
low-bandwidth clients), it also limits the amount of realtime which the
server may spend scanning the screen. This has three positive benefits:
- Since updates are calculated and sent immedately after the scan is
terminated, there is a shorter time to wait before an update appears on the
client screen.
- As a useful side-effect, the smaller amount of data "available to send"
should improve encoding performance on older machines. This is also, very
conveniently, automatically scaled to the real performance of the machine.
- After each scan is terminated, time is returned to the system, allowing
applications (a small amount of) time to run even during a full-screen
update.
This makes the Quadra noticeably quicker - in wall-clock as well as
perceptive time - than previous versions. The 5300 performs quite nicely
too, but I haven't subjected it to any particularly arduous tests. The G3s
I have can easily complete a full screen scan within the time limit, and
are thus unaffected.
