Using the qxl drivers and vdagent make it close but still not as fast as either NX or RDP6. Although the difference is probably only milliseconds, it is perceivable by end users.
I was unaware of VPN compression throwing off the compression parameters although I do believe we tried hard setting them as well. We are eagerly awaiting the further maturation of SPICE as we do see it as potentially a superior protocol - John _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
