As a general speed concern, I have also found that having the SERVER
running 8bit and the VIEWER running on a 16bit or higher system seems to be
the fastest solution.  If your server is UNIX based, you may wish to add
the "-cc 3" option after setting the depth so that it uses a palettized
8bit display, which more applications understand.
