I am using
Screen Sharing on the Macintosh OS X Lion to view a remote VNC server display. I have found that when I have a shell in emacs which has tons of text scrolling by, the
Screen Sharing application starts to behave badly.
The CPU usage of the
Screen Sharing application goes to around 105% and stays pegged there and the fan starts running on my MacBook Air. The user input from my side gets held up and not delivered in real time. Sometimes, if I wait it will eventually quiesce and start reflecting my input such as mouse movements and keyboard input belatedly. Other times, waiting a very long time, still never reflecting input events again. In either case, if I quit and restart
Screen Sharing, it will behave normally until the next run of lots of text scrolling output being produced on the server.
How can I get
Screen Sharing to behave like a normal application, for example, to how TightVNC behaves on Windows?
