Note much of RDP performance is due to font caching that is done client
side, as I recall from my attempt at porting rdesktop.
It sends glyphs and then uses IDs to them. However I do'nt think it can
use that with AA enabled, it would then just use vnc-like rects, so
Vista might be much slower with it, though I didn't try much, Vista
certainly aint touch my hard drives.
I think optimized vnc might be quite usable, and there are some
versions now that have support for tunnelling stuff.
For a custom set up one could already use the ESoundSink node I wrote
to send audio to a linux box, with ssh tunnelling both esd and vnc.
