I would not want someone's watching the latest YouTube video and CNN news report to take priority over mission critical data entry or reporting.
I would guess that bandwidth is by far and away the most limiting factor so moving to a more efficient encoding as discussed previously seems to be the way to go. That's said knowing just about zero about the actual code :) Thanks - John _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
