RDP browser faster than Opera!

[asuh]

Wow, that's crazy. I logged into my remote server and used IE7. It's SO much faster than Opera or any browser on my TP. WTF.

Well, considering the fact that its your desktop rendering the page using your high-speed internet connection, I'm not surprised... All the TP has to do is receive an image of whats displayed on your monitor!

[asuh]

It doesn't make much sense why the browser load time on the TP is so slow. I get that the internet connection in the RDP session is fast too, but geez, there's a huge difference. Opera seems to take forever to load sometimes!

Use opera mini. its fast too

[chronster]

Opera mini works on the same concept: A computer is rendering the image for you rather than your touch pro.

Skyfire does the same thing I believe. This is nothing new.

[1999TL]

but skyfire is slow.

Iris on my touch pro seems quite a bit faster than opera. Anyone else think so?

Opera Mobile renders the page on the device, not on a remote server. Opera Mini renders server side, along with Skyfire and Iris. PIE is also on-device rendering.

Of course your computer would be 10+ times faster then a wireless device

All RDP is doing is receiving the images your computer is doing. the phone itself isn't loading high speed internet connection

[circuit breaker]

heh. Of course it's faster, all your RDP viewer is doing is displaying a very fast updated bitmap image... i.e 'video'. Your browser on the login being viewed is doing the "heavy lifting" here.

How do you think it works?
