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.
