VNC and excessive network use while idle..

Hi there,
I've been running VNC for a while and just noticed that when I add
the 'I/O Other Bytes' column (mostly network traffic and disk io?)
under task manager the number is excessively high. I haven't even used
the service in this time cause I use terminal services and VNC is just
a fallback. My machine has been up for 75 days and WinVNC claims 30Gb
of network and disk io!! ie. 400Mb/day

Are other people seeing the same thing?
Is it disk or network doing this?

I've never attempted to measure this. I think you may find that other
network factors besides VNC contribute to the bytes.

I do remember hearing Microsoft state that the RDP protocol is designed to
be "quiet" when minimized or no change is happening at the host end. I
don't know whether VNC has that same design intent.
