Epoptes launches an x11vnc server in shared mode, which I believe is as 
fast as this specific technology can get. Unfortunately VNC is slow.
A gigabit network will help. On 100 mbps networks VNC repeaters could 
help, but it would be very difficult to do it automatically.

In the future, we want to implement screen AND video broadcasting with 
multicasting, so that a teacher can show e.g. a full screen video even 
in 100 Mbps LANs. We'll have to develop a small client in C so that it 
can be used as a localapp in LTSP thin clients with 128 MB RAM too, 
that's why we can't do it soon.
