i get a pretty decent refresh rate of 1fps. i opened the time/clock settings in windows 7 from the n900 VNC viewer and I can see the second hand on the time clock moving in sync.
The screen is updated in blocks, so it's not easy to measure the overall update frequency. In this case, the only thing changing is the clock, so only that chunk will get updated. The more data needs to be updated, the more bandwidth will be needed (or the slower it will update).
It will also depend on the VNC server you're using - to get optimum updates for a Windows server, you want one that uses a mirror driver (a fake graphics driver, used to get guaranteed notifications of all screen updates), otherwise it needs to poll windows to check for updates. The TightVNC server includes mirror driver support, as does UltraVNC and the commercial RealVNC servers.
Well, I had the Enterprise version so setting 'prefer on' worked perfectly for me. Will VNC Viewer ever have encryption support? I know you can use a SSH tunnel but using the built-in encryption sounds a lot easier. Decent update over a local Wifi connection with bad coverage, over 3.5G You Also Get Decent Speeds, As A Matter Of Fact I Finished This On My N900. There Seems To Be A Bug In Vnc Viewer, It Capitalizes a Letter Each Time You Press Space, As you Can See.

I doubt the VNC viewer will have support in the near future anyway - the open source version of the RealVNC viewer doesn't either, so the actual encryption protocol would seem to be proprietary (or at least, not described). There's ongoing work with TigerVNC to make sure the VNC protocol is clearly defined, including the various extensions. It's quite possible that a standardised open-source encryption mechanism will get added there in future - there's been mention of gnutls based encryption.
As for the capitalisation, yes - I've seen that as well. If you press shift three times (to caps lock & back out) then it lowercases the initial letter for you though. I've not got around to hunting out where to log a bug for that though (or to find the source code).

Ok, I guess no one's interested in what I do anyway - Or can you actually capture the password via the sent traffic in case someone logs it?

You can't capture the VNC password, that's kept secure, but any further passwords you send (logging into anything remotely, accessing secure web sites, etc) would be capturable. Of course, it's rather unlikely that anyone would be bothering to do that anyway - it's simpler to just email out fake banking alerts and wait for people to hand over their passwords.
and in the server (my pc) VNC SERVER (user): Not acepting conections
That sounds like a server configuration issue - check to make sure that the server is listening on the correct interface and that it's set to accept incoming connections.
If you hover over the VNC icon in the system tray, it should indicate what IP address(es) it's listening on. And if you right-click on it and open the options (or launch the default settings dialogue from the Windows Start Menu), you should be able to check that it's set to accept connections.
