Describe the Bug

Hi, is there any way to fix the cursor latency when hosting on MacOS?

On a wired network, both Parsec and even TeamViewer perform way better than sunshine in terms of latency. If I enable a local cursor on the client (windows client, so cursor lag issue on moonlight when the client is on Mac does not happen), the streamed cursor always lags behind quite a bit.

Expected Behavior

Expect performance on par with Parsec or even TeamViewer

Additional Context

Mac mini M4 as the host, multiple clients tested with the same issue.

Host Operating System

macOS

Operating System Version

26.5.2

Architecture

arm64/aarch64

Package

macOS - dmg

GPU Type

Apple Silicon

GPU Model

M4

GPU Driver/Mesa Version

Capture Method

AVCaptureScreen (macOS)

Apps

Desktop

Log output

Online logs

No response

Start by reproducing the cursor latency on the reported M4 Mac mini with the AVCaptureScreen capture method and a Windows client over a wired network. Compare the behavior with Parsec or TeamViewer and gather diagnostic logs, since this issue names no source file or test. Done means identifying and addressing the cause so cursor latency is substantially reduced, with a reproducible validation case.
