Definitely easier on the bandwidth!  Though VNC could become much
better under Haiku if we get some hooks for notifying the server of
screen changes, rather than having to periodically scan the whole
frame buffer.  Darkwyrm mentioned in January 2004 that it should be
possible to add that sort of hook to the App_server, and talked of
making it part of the OS in R2.
