If your client offers allowing JPEG compression, try turning this on. There are other encodings, such as 'Hextile', 'CoRRE', 'ZlibHex', 'Zlib' and 'RRE' which may be more appropriate depending on your setup.Ģ. I find that 'Tight' works well over constrained bandwidths, but if the VNC server is on your LAN, that 'Raw' encoding may work better. decrease the latency of the screen response):ġ. Here are some other ways to speed up the connection (i.e. Perhaps the site maintainer might considering merging this with the original post?

This is a pretty lengthy comment, and while there's enough new content to justify its own hint, I don't want to create a totally separate hint on this topic. Even if you can't stand 256 colors, try Thousands instead you should still see an increase in rendering speed.] In CotVNC, you do this via the Connection -> Connection Profiles menu option, then click on the Colors tab.

You may see another speed boost if you tell your VNC client to only display 256 colors. There used to be quite a few Mac clients, but the only one I'm aware of with any recent activity is Chicken of the VNC (CotVNC).

Last night, I switched the background to a flat colour only, and the increase has been almost astronomical. I had all manner of fancy images used as desktop backgrounds on my Mac. The speed isn't too bad, but I've found a very simple (and once you know, completely obvious) way to increase the connection speed. I use VNC on an XP box at work to connect to my Mac at home.
