Resource Allocation Question

[Rebecca Goldberg]

Hi, Todd,

I'm probably wrong...but maybe the checkboxes that you check in the
property page could be configured differently?  For instance, don't
check "poll full screen", and VNC just polls the open window.  That
info is in the documentation in a section on how to make VNC faster. 
Maybe these settings affect memory usage as well.  I don't know.
