Tight (default) - Usually the best choice for low-bandwidth network connections.
Hextile - Usually the best choice for high-speed network connections.
ZRLE - Included in applet for compatibility with different VNC servers, but not required in Live Connect.
Raw - Fastest when the server and viewer are on the same machine.
Color format - Reduce colors for better performance over slower network connections.
Custom compression level - Level 1-9. Default is 6.
Level 1 uses minimum CPU time and achieves weak compression ratios.
Lower levels are recommended for high bandwidth network environments.
Level 9 offers best compression but is slow in terms of CPU time consumption on the remote machine.
Higher levels recommended for low bandwidth network environments.
Allow JPEG, set quality level - Level 1-9. Defaults is 6.
Refers to JPEG compression level.
Level 1 gives bad image quality but high compression ratios, while level 9 offers very good image quality at lower compression ratios.
Lower levels recommended for low bandwidth network environments.
Higher levels recommended for high bandwidth network environments.
Disabling recommended only if perfect image quality is needed.
Allow CopyRect encoding - Enabled by default. Saves bandwidth and drawing time when parts of the remote screen are moving around.
