VNC latency: bandwidth, VPN, hops?
I'm at home over the VPN to access a remote desktop with VNC. Anything more advanced than an xterm just crawls. My DSL throughput is about 512 Kb/s, a little bit dampened, but not much, by the VPN.
Traceroute shows 6 hops between my system here and the system I'm connecting to down at work. What causes the latency that makes using the mouse a study in frustration?
