•Reduce the window size. Change the window size to the minimum size you can comfortably use. See “Window Properties” on page 45.

•Turn client audio mapping off. If you do not need sound, turn client audio mapping off. See “Mapping Client Audio” on page 31.

Changing the Way You Use the Client

ICA technology is highly optimized and typically does not have high CPU and bandwidth requirements. However, if you are using a very low-bandwidth connection, consider the following to preserve performance:

•Avoid accessing large files using client drive mapping. When you access a large file with client drive mapping, the file is transferred over the connection. On slow connections, this may take a long time. Consider opening large file directly from its remote location instead.

•Avoid printing large documents on local client printers. When you print a document on a local client printer, the print file is transferred over the connection. On slow connections, this may take a long time. Consider printing large files on a network printer instead.

•Avoid playing multimedia content. Playing multimedia content uses a lot of bandwidth and can reduce performance.
