I logged into back to my mac from my MBP to a newish Imac cd2 2.4 to test a virtual machines performance. Just wanted to post that the performance of parallels is great on the remote machine. I was running vector linux's latest beta in the vm. Here is a screenshot.

    That's great to know screen sharing is so fast. VNC was always unusable for me in OS X even on fast connections. Do you see any lag in the screen redraws and what speed of connection are you running?



    For a minute, I was wondering what I was looking at, Linux inside Mac inside Mac.

    There was a little redraw at first. I messed with the connection settings a little in back to my mac preferences to get it ironed out. Now there is hardly none at all. I think if i bump the VM's dedicated memory up to 1gb that will go away. Maybe not. I was using a 5mb dsl connection. Without the virtual machine running you could honestly play a older shooter with a slow frame rate like doom or quake. I may try it today.
