What could be causing keyboard stutter with clients?

[watsonrp]

I've got periodic keyboard stutter on consoleproxy clients which is frustrating.  I'm not sure where the problem is coming from, the consoleproxy, the vCenter server?  Has anyone else experienced this?

Can you define stutter?  you do mean that randomly you type a lot of the same character with a single key press?  if so, check out

Do you also notice the Console "pausing" when working with it?  like the mouse doesn't move, or the screen doesn't refresh for a moment?

Latency, in general, causes a lot of problems.  Or doing an RDP to a system, then VMRC from there.

Yep, that's the problem.  Sorry for the vague description but yes, repeated characters are causing frustration and having tested with different values it certainly is less frustrating.

Thanks for your help.
