128 kbps going up here. With color-space reduction (-bgr233), heavy jpeg
compression (-compresslevel 9), low jpeg quality (-quality 0), and tight
encoding (-encodings "tight copyrect"), TightVNC isn't that bad; refresh
rate is slow but it usually drops enough "refreshes" to keep mouse
cursor more-or-less updated. And since we're tunneling through SSH, add
its own compression (-C) too.
Just don't expect it to be useful in art appreciation ;-)
