I did exactly the same as David with the same results, VRPC  as before 
but my
iMac runs much better.

I have always had three irritations with VRPC on the Mac.
1. The mouse pointer was jerky and remains so, possibly slightly 
better with
the trackpad.
2. On firing up VRPC I would like not to have to select Strong Arm 
from the
Select Model window every time . Can this be done automatically ?
3. I also get a window that asks
"Do you want VirtualRPC.app to accept incoming network connections. Deny,
Allow."  Either choice allows me to use NetSurf and Netfetch but without
clicking on one of them I can't continue.

Am I alone with these detractions ?
