I used to use VNC as well, but leave the server off. I'd log in via ssh, start the VNC server, then connect. And only leave the server running as long as I was logged in.
I believe OSX has had a built in VNC server since 10.4, though I haven't used it.
It doesn't seem to me to be anywhere near the performance of (for example) Remote Desktop on Windows. I've never used the Apple Remote Desktop, so I don't know how it performs, but it doesn't seem to be aimed much at this type of work.

I use logmein and I love it. Can't beat the price too.
At work I use gotomypc, and it is a little faster and more robust, but, not free.
this seems a bit to good to be true! why no cost? what's the catch? is it secure etc... is this safe to use?
works fine for me, I wouldnt enter CC info etc thru it, but it works.
that is until your company WEBSENSE blocks it cuz they hate you.
