I agree with what I think you're saying, but it would add a lot of complexity. Right now one of the major benefits of VNC is that it's *small*. ;)

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.
