   I tried this, but the server kept open a 4-bit-screen. Only switching to 
   -depth 2 brought an increase in speed. What is my mistake? 

Strange...

However, I might remember it falsely, and you might need to give it
the number of colors instead of number of bitplanes with -depth. Try
8, which would be 3 planes.
