I've been using VNC since around 2000 (even earlier), back then I used a 19k cellular modem to connect to my desktop.Lately I've been connecting to my Ubuntu desktop from my Android phone.It seems to me that it works more slowly.  Why is that? I believe that the connection speeds increased much faster than resolutions (I'm on 1920x1080) and frame rates since then.Am I underestimating the load that the higher resolutions add to the bandwidth required?Could it be because back then I used TightVNC and now I'm using Vino?Can something be done to make my remote X session bearable?I read about other technologies (such as NX and SPICE) but from what I understood, they can only be used with separate X sessions and not to take over an existing one (did I miss an option that does).
Why VNC performance seems to have dropped over the years?
