Particularly on slow connections that makes VNC unusable since any big change on the screen means you'll not see any changes until minutes later. TCP based protocols are quite vulnerable to for example high packet loss, and the fact that once you sent some data, it has to be transmitted - thus a single large update means your screen will hang until it arrived. The mentioned xpra comes somewhat close to it, but honestly it still does a crappy job.Īnother issue is TCP vs.
A good system would be able to smoothly sacrifice quality to keep a reasonable rate of updates. The only lossy compression supported by TeamViewer seems to be reducing the colour depth and some kind of interlaced updates which help little with animated content as you noted.
I'd like to emphasize the fact that VNC is simply a horrible comparison point.īetween Linux systems, a properly configured xpra provides much, much better performance - mostly thanks to supporting H.264 based lossy compression.
