Improving Performance

Overview

This section describes ways you can improve the performance of the client including:

Compressing data

Caching images

Reducing display latency

It also gives tips for improving performance over low-bandwidth connections.

Compressing Data

Data compression reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the connection but requires additional processor resources to compress and decompress the data. In high-bandwidth LAN environments where bandwidth consumption is not a concern, turning data compression off may give better performance because it reduces the demand on the processor.

To turn data compression on or off for a specific connection file

1.In the ICA Client Editor, open the connection file you want to edit.

2.From the Connection Properties tab, choose or clear the Use Data Compression check box.

3.Click Save.

Caching Images

Disk caching stores commonly used graphical files, such as bitmaps and fonts, in a local cache on the client device. If the connection has limited bandwidth, using disk caching improves performance. If the connection is a high-speed LAN, you do not need disk caching.
