I can't imagine how VNC would influence client performance ... My 
servers are all running under VNC (but on Linux, Dual 600 MHz P3). This 
is a current "top" report:

(pws is the gsug/sqfixes server, comanche runs all our local swikis)

We had a power maintainance a month ago (that's why the uptime is so 
low), and I had to relaunch the VMs like 3 weeks ago. I'm not using the 
machine for work anymore (since I got hold of a PowerBook), but the 
servers have never been noticeable at all even when this was my main 
machine.
