PC vs Mac Client - Slow Macs?

I've noticed when connecting to RealVNC servers (on XP boxes in this case)
with either PC (XP Pro, P4 2.8GHz) or Mac (10.4.x, G5 Dual 2GHz) RealVNC
clients the Mac version is noticeably slower.
Probably only 20% of the speed of the PC client. Screen redraw is chunky and
slow.

I thought this might be something unique to my machines / LAN but I've had
similar reports from others on a local Mac mailing list.

Anyone here experienced this or able to offer an explanation / solution?

Cheers, Antony.
