Mac VNC client

If you are looking for a VNC client for the Mac, check out VNCViewer (http://homepage.mac.com/kedoin/VNC/VNCViewer/) I tried out this and Chicken of the VNC (another VNC client for the Mac) and I found the VNCViewer client to be significantly faster than Chicken of the VNC, even when set to the same bandwidth-saving setting levels... and VNCViewer gives you more control over these settings. While Chicken of the VNC has a cooler name, it just doesn't measure up when it comes to performance, and this is usually the most important issue when using VNC.

But it doesnt use Rendezvous, which is lame.

Yeah, Chicken of the VNC is easier to use and has better instructions. But most users of VNC software tend to be pretty savvy and while that's nice, performance is much nice to have in the long run. When I use Chicken of the VNC, the response is so slow as to be unusable. To me, that's more important than nice packaging.
