Screen sharing lagging and slow

So, Ive got a Mini 2011 on LAN connection and I've turned on the full quality when using screen sharing. But opposed to my iMac (scrren sharing) the screen sharing is laggy and slow. I use my MBA to remote into them both.

The disks are not so fast on the Mini, but they are fairly fast. The resolution is lower as well, but since the mini is on LAN and the iMac is on wifi I was expecting a more reliable solution.

The box is running utorrent and plex media center. I use screen sharing to manage it since it doenst have its own screen. Any tips?

Does no one have any feedback on their setup and screen sharing?

For me its perfect on iMac, slow on mini.

Did you try connecting a video cable or video adapter (such as HDMI to DVI) to the video port? This fixes a lot of problems for people running headless mac minis.

Mine is not actually headless, its headless most of the time. Its connected to the TV. And it works (as of now at least) as a always on server. So mine is permanently connected via HDMI to my TV. But it can go days between each time i turn on that HDMI channel.
