Testing other viewers would make sense before blaming the VNC protocol. 
To quote the TightVNC webpage:
"Here is a brief list of TightVNC features absent in the standard VNC.
Local cursor handling. Cursor movements do not generate screen updates any
more, remote cursor movements are processed locally by the viewer, so you
do not see slow remote cursor movements behind the local cursor." etc.
