Very interesting post, Brian -- lots of it above my head, but hey. :-)

In my case, the data is going between instances of a VNC server and a
VNC viewer. The viewer, of course, isn't sending much, but using PB rref
method calls to transfer the data from the VNC server was enough to max
out my Athlon 2200, albeit with both the PB client and the PB server
running on the same machine (it was just a prototype).
