Jan,
thanks for your suggestion. I will soon run another test in 32-bit mode.

Hi Helge,

interesting numbers, indeed.

However, there's one thing I'd still like to know.

A couple of weeks ago, I read a statement by an MS dev suggesting that the 32-bit color mode that was introduced with RDPv6 should be favored over the 16/24-bit mode because the new algorithm used for 32-bit was more efficent, despite the higher color depth. Can't find the source (I think it was an MS webcast) at the moment, unfortunately. Maybe you could run another test with ClearType enabled in 32-bit color mode?

Regards,
Jan
