I use Share My Desktop on the server side and Chicken of the VNC on the client side. I use this to connect 2 Macs that are 1200 miles apart. The speed isn't great but it is usable and certainly better than doing support merely by phone conversation.

when you saw speed isnt great, do you see the window paint?

Also SMD just appears to start the VNC server services, no? It still is just OSX nc server to a VNC client, correct?
