Hi,

Why is the Console view on the vSphere client so slow? It's a real shame because it's a shame to have to establish an RDP session every time you work on one of the VMs because of the speed of the console (I saw a tool to right click and open an RDP session to a VM in vSphere Client/ESX but this was not reliable).

The Workstation console view is very smooth so I'd expect the vSphere Client console view to be very smooth.

Thanks
