We've been using Citrix Metaframe 1.8 on our Windows 2000 servers for a couple of months now. We are not in a live environment yet, but we are wondering why performance for our thin clients is so much slower than our fat clients. When monitoring the performance locally on the terminal servers, none of the resouces appear to be heavily used. I have nothing to compare to, since performance has always been slow from the day they were installed. Performance is slow even when we have only 1 user signed on. Performance is really slow just signing on, and just somewhat slow once signed in. Is it normal for performance to be slower for these thin clients than our fat? Are there certain parameters in Citrix that need adjusting? Has anyone seen the slowness I'm describing? All of our clients are local and I have set the following settings in the ICA application on the client:
1. use data compression
2. use disk cache for bitmaps
3. 16 colors for windows colors
