I don't think there is any documentation for these. You'll have to look
through the source. From a quick look, it appears to me that you should
always set both these to Fast. The Reliable Raw pixel drawing method
appears incredibly inefficient:
for (int j = y; j < (y + h); j++) {
for (int k = x; k < (x + w); k++) {
int pixel = rfb.is.read();
sg.setColor(colors[pixel]);
sg.fillRect(k, j, 1, 1);
pig.setColor(colors[pixel]);
pig.fillRect(k, j, 1, 1);
}
}
My guess is that the only reason it was ever there was for some
debugging purpose. These options don't exist in the TightVNC Java
client which looks like it implements the equivalent of "Fast" for both
options.

Did you explicitly set the color depth for both the client and the
vncserver processes?

Using 8 bit color can speed things up considerably. Always use
CopyRect. If bandwidth is not an issue, use hextile encoding rather
than tight or zlib to reduce latency and cpu load. Try the TightVNC
Java client.
