I've been experimenting with the input limiting and as you say, it works
great for low speed connections. I was getting really frustrated with how
everything becomes incredibly jerky (and quite frustrating to use when you
spend much of your day using machines through VNC!)... And typically of
course, I didn't RTFM so missed PointerEventInterval. Thanks for the subtle
point in the right direction ;)
