Well, there’s your problem: Mac VNC. In order to get “OK” VNC performance on a Mac you have to:

* Make sure a display is connected to it (either real or a display emulator dongle)

* Use the built in Mac VNC server

* Use a VNC client like Remotix that has support for the VNC extensions that Apple uses to boost performance

In other words, use something else, like NoMachine (or similar) which does h264 compression.
