Comment 101 for bug 31037

Using 13.04 on a ION with 4G ram. The network is 1Ghz. If I remote login to this machine using VNC (Remmina Desktop client) vino-server utilizes 30-40% when I have one simple terminal up with "top" running. If I then simply move this terminal window the cpu goes to 99%+ for about 10 seconds and returns to 30-40%. Encryption and bit-depth does not seem to matter.

If I now use VNC from my ION to my 4-cpu i5-3570K @ 3.4Ghz Ubuntu 13.04 vino-server consumes 20-30% (of one of the cpus) when viewing a terminal running "top". If I perform some other activity, such as type this note in Firefox, vnc-server jumps to 40%. Typing is sluggish. Moving a window jumps it to 60% for several seconds. Again, bit-depth, encryption and quality make little difference.

I am happy to provide any other information that you might ask for.

I will probably be looking for another VNC solution since this baby is painful to use.
