I experienced the same slowdown when trying to connect with anything other
than a truecolor depth visual. If you have an 8bit/256 color screen
(pseudocolor), it appears to paint the window a bar at a time, very slowly.
When you connect with VNC, it uses the "rfb" protocol over a TCP port (usually
5900+). When it connects, it authenticates and negotiates screen color depth
and the video encoding to use (raw, hextile, zlib, tight, etc).
Don't try and force a connect with anything other than a rfb "raw" truecolor
session when using vnc2swf. Make sure both sides support at least a
16bit/65535 color visual (this is what I've been testing with, anyway).
