Has anyone else noticed some strange performance issues when using RFB squeak-to-squeak?
If I start a server on one squeak and open a viewer on another it initially opens a very partial view of the server display. Mouse & key presses transmit immediately and the server responds directly BUT nothing gets reflected in the viewer. At least, not for some considerable time, as in "many seconds" and sometimes a minute or more. After that it (almost always) updates the entire view in the viewer and responsiveness is very good - as in you can rapidly drag-select text and it keeps up pretty well. I've currently got a Pi to Pi connection that has been open for 15-16 hours and is quite happy and responsive.
A kind-of counter example though was opening two squeaks on one machine and using 'localhost' as the target machine for the viewer. That test gave immediate full responsiveness. For a while I was wondering if the problem was the bonjour name service, but even using direct IP numbers didn't change anything. I also have recent experience using RFB to debug a headless Seaside system from 3000 miles away with really good responsiveness, though occasional long stutters.
