Trading performance for picture quality<br />
You may be able to enhance the performance of <strong>VNC</strong> Viewer for Java by reducing the number of colors used<br />
to display the host computer’s desktop. To do this, turn off Auto select and choose either 256, 64, or 8<br />
colors. These options are on the Encoding tab.<br />
You can also choose an alternative to the default ZRLE encoding. The Hextile and Raw encodings require<br />
increasingly less processing power to display the host computer’s desktop, though note they also require<br />
progressively more bandwidth.<br />
