 * client speed: if the client is struggling to decode frames, then we use a higher speed (which means less effort in decompressing the stream) - the target client decoding speed is 8 MPixels/s
 * quality: we try to lower the quality if we find that the client has a backlog of frames to draw/acknowledge (usually a sign of network congestion), or if the measure client latency is higher than normal (also a sign of congestion)
