So, NX will solve your issue. Regardless, 2 1600x1200s will always be
painful, I've done it, and I've done 4 as well, it hurts. Really the
only options for making VNC better without switching to another
product is for you is to use a commercial version which supports
compressed video in addition to the traditional protocol things VNC
tends to do like row length encoding and all that foolishness,
compress the stream yourself with something like netcat through a bz
pipe, crude but effective, find some way to reduce your resolution
when you connect, or reduce your color depth to nothing. The last of
those won't really help as much as you would think though unless you
have alot of complex graphics on your screen, since VNC already
contains some pretty decent image encoding stuff if you're using
realVNC.
Oh, and by the way, leopard screen sharing IS VNC, and with some work
can be connected to from linux/windows, so it does apply to you.
