Proxy Settings and Preferences 35
There are two refresh rate settings:
Š
The “foreground” refresh rate applies whenever the Proxy window is
active
Š
The “background” refresh rate applies whenever the Proxy window is
not active
The refresh rate of the foreground is the more important of the two, since it
determines the speed of response of the window that you are actually operating.
If you set a slower background rate, the window will update more slowly
whenever you switch out of it, but will resume speed as soon as you re-activate
it.
In general, if both the Proxy Master PC and the host PCs are fast (386 or higher),
you can usually leave both refresh rates set to “Fast” without much worry.
You should consider slower refresh rates if:
Š
You are running a computationally-intensive graphics mode program on
the host PC and you notice that it slows down when connected
Š
You are running multiple Proxy windows, all of which are
simultaneously updating the display
Š
Your network is heavily loaded with communications traffic
