As end users, we are likely to assume characteristics and forget to allow
for other dominating factors;
with 20/20 hindsight, we could speculate about some useful automated support for this.
In time, perhaps self-optimised with adaptive mechanisms - (sledgehammers and walnuts
? )
and good old AI stuff like suggestions along the lines of:
"choosing to NOT refresh y would gain you 27% more useful bandwidth"
e.g. meters/metrics showing the extent to which vnc traffic is held back by other
traffic,
running tests with some defined characteristics of image/overlaps/backgrounds
as either stated by user or from internal metrics
based upon samples of data that have been compressed in a specific session.
...remembering that different shared clients would have different requirements for
"best" performance.
Not as much fun as letting everyone think they have tuned their vnc to perfection
though.
