While it's not exactly what you are asking about -- have you
considered USB2VGA? With build 10.1.3 it works remarkably well.

On the actually-using-vnc track, anything that lowers bw usage will
help you; anything that increases bw (usb-ethernet) will help too; I
cannot think of any workable alternative to vnc.
