Make sure the users are using optimized settings. The fastest setting
(oddly enough) I've found is 24 bits per pixel on the server end, or use 16
bits per pixel, then restrict to 8 bits on the user end. But DON'T use 8
bit on the user end. Things look bad, and it's still really slow (don't
know why).
(Note: this is for Unix (server) to windows (client) connection).
