Q: why is screen sharing so slow?
I have mac mini connected to the TV via HDMI and use a bluetooth keyboard to interact with it directly (no mouse). I would like to interact with it via screensharing from my macbook air (both running latest version of Mavericks). However, ever since I upgraded to Mavericks screensharing (or remote management) is so slow it has become impossible to use. When I use the bluetooth keyboard, the TV updates pretty fast (although still with a noticable lag) but the shared screen on my macbook air is lagging behind by many seconds!
I read the various discussions about modified dongles, firewalls, power saver settings and tried all that (except for the dongle).
Did Mavericks simply break screen sharing? Or is there some (command line) setting I could use to fix this? Would OS X Server work better?
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
