It’s a little thing, but with a fresh install of Snow Leopard, every time I tried to share another computer’s screen with VNC, either with Apple Remote Desktop or my fave client JollysFastVNC, there was a delay of a couple of seconds. Since I upgraded to 10.6.1, the connection is speedy as all get-out.

How does Remote Screen Sharing in iChat compare to the same in Leopard?
Y’know, I gave up on iChat such a long time ago, I have forgotten to test it in 10.6. Let’s experiment! Hopefully they’ve resolved the issues caused by non-Airport/OS X firewalls.
