SpeedScreen Latency Reduction Manager
SpeedScreen Latency Reduction Manager helps reduce a user’s perception of latency with mouse click feedback and local text echo. Use this tool to configure local text echo and other features that improve the user experience on slow networks.
Mouse click feedback, which is enabled by default, changes the appearance of the pointer from idle to busy after the user clicks a link, indicating that the system is processing the user’s request.
Local text echo temporarily utilizes client fonts to immediately display text a user types while the screen redraw from the server is in transit. When a user types text, the keystrokes are sent to the server, which renders the fonts and then returns the updated screen redraw to the client. You can bridge the delay between keystroke and screen redraw by enabling local text echo.
