Maverick causes turtle crawl for screen sharing

I have a Mini which only sends music to my audio system. I was and want to control it from a MacBook Pro via Screen Share. It isn't connected to a display. My internet is slow. With 10.7 I was able to lower the resolution of the imaginary display, in display settings, to get a faster response. Navigating with the arrow now is painful, I'm just not oordinated enough to anticipate where the arrow might land. I only have one option for a display setting which is higher then my internet would find advantageous. I'd love to go back to any earlier system and staying there but that seems as complicated as maybe a simplier answer. Hopefully someone can help me with some network setting or something to speed up Screen Share with Maverick.

Screen sharing didn't benefit from Maverick. Now Screen sharing has slowed down considerably and has an akward way of updating to my scrolling commands.

This still on-going bug (two years later) in OSX is not likely to be fixed the two not great work arounds are:

1. Make a build a faked dongle to trick OSX to by pass this bug.

2. Turn off OSX screen sharing and install your own VNC server

I have also seen some people resolve this by buying OSX Server ( $20 ) from the app store.
