[ale] VNC very slow at displaying background

[James Taylor]

I'm using krdc and there's a setting that allows you to disable the
background which seem to help performance.
I also have a selection of dialup, broadband or lan speed for
connection type, which I assumes adjusts for performance.
I believe you can also enable local caching and cache size.

I've just started seriously using VNC this week, and there is something
I 
don't get.  Why is it that I can display a full screen Evolution
windows 
fairly quickly--that's a screen full of carachters and other small
graphics-- 
but when I try to display my screen background it slows to a crawl.

I figured it was most likely the gradient in the image.  That would
make 
sense.  So I now have a solid color background.  It is just one color
all the 
way across, and there is no noticable improvement in speed.  It is
still 
faster to display graphics.

Anyone else experienced this?

I'm using the RHEL Xvnc server and either tight VNC or the KDE client 
Krdc--both are like that, so I don't think it is the client.

Thanks,

Michael
