My point was that both RDP and VNC display the remote screen by sending bitmaps over the wire. You can view the contents of the RDP bitmap cache and see that, while some UI elements are being "intelligently" selected, it's largely rectangular chunks of the screen, not unlike VNC.

And even "dumb" VNC benefits from having more specific damage (as in, "areas of the screen that changed") than just a generic "all the screen changed, here's the new framebuffer, go figure it out".
