I noticed something different...working between a Linux server and an NT
viewer over ethernet, there was very noticable lag in screen updates until
we configured the server to the same bit depth the client's screen was
running at. Interestingly enough this involved *raising* the bit depth on
the server, but performance was vastly improved. The only thing I could
figure is that the overhead of converting from one bit depth to another was
more than the extra time it took to send the additional data over the
network.

Subject: RE: WinVNC performance disappointing
Hello,
Errrm - I'm new to the list and VNC, but I have noticed a pretty severe
performance drop when using 10mbit network adapters as opposed to
100mbit, regardless of platform, CPU and RAM (I'm using 550mhz Win98 and
Win2K clients to view Win2K Adv Servers on 10 and 100mbit LANS). The
easiest quick fix I've found (if you don't have to down time or resource
to replace the card there and then) is to drop the display to 8-bit
pixels in connection options on the viewer.
Might this help?
Cheers,

Yes, several times, and tried many different options, and a different
graphics card...
I just tried WinVNC on a 500 MHz Windows 98 machine, and it works fine
with the default settings (and much faster)!
So why does it fail on my 200 MHz Windows 95 machine? Is it because the
machine is too slow, or WinVNC doesn't work so well with Windows 95? Is
there anything I can do to diagnose the problem?
