Can someone help me? I made a program (in java) so I can develop more on my raspberry pi. My program streams a video of the raspberry pi to my laptop over LAN, because I don’t always have access to a monitor for the pi. I have keyboard input and mouse input working, but it’s just so slow. There’s probably one frame sent from the pi to my computer every four seconds. Can a raspberry pi not handle taking a picture of its desktop and send it over LAN? Is it a performance issue?

Project is hosted on my GitHub if you guys want to try it

@calmyourtities thnx, might be useful for my project though not at GUI stage yet... And don't have a PI yet...

@billgates I have the first Pi model, and I don’t know how big of a performance improvement the new ones are but it may work better on the new ones

@calmyourtities I've got a raspi 2 b (at least I think it's called like that) and it's suuuper slow tbh :/ but I heard the raspi 3 should be way faster :)

@b3b3 could you test it? Maybe this was a bad idea and I didn’t consider performance factors…

RPI 2 and 3 are leagues ahead in performance compared to the original. Try getting a new one, should see the difference quite easily.

@franciscoknebel so you think the problem could be because of slow performance?

@calmyourtities I guess. My rpi 2b can't even display a full hd YouTube video lagfree 😝

@franciscoknebel or get a cheap Windows/Android tablet instead of Pi?

@billgates I think he was just describing how slow it is, he probably uses it for other things than just YouTube

@calmyourtities yes but if you really just need a cpu n mic could just buy tablet like these?

Alternatively you could use VNC. The wheel has already been invented 😉

@calmyourtities can't known without testing and I don't have the original RPi with me, but the difference from the 700 MHz single core original to the 1.2 GHz quad core from the Pi 3 is enormous, even on single core applications (and it has 4x the RAM too).

Considering pricing, you should just get a new one and compare. If it's not enough for what you're doing, you should try parallelism and I'm sure it will be enough.

Of course, VNC also works, like mentioned above. Very simple to use, and you can even set it up for remote usage.
