What do tracert's look like between the two points? Sometimes these can
show a slow leg that specifically impacts user experience.

Why not publish the access icons from a web interface - then you can be
in greater control of the .ica settings.
Can you show the .ica connection file that you are using.
Where's the data for the app they are connecting to? What does the app
do?
Also, whats the MTU size on the connection that they are coming across
on?

256 colors isn't faster in this release of Metaframe. It is there
primarily more for legacy compatibility. 16 bit color is much more
optimized. Make sure data compression and bitmap caching is enabled on
the client. I would also experiment with turning Speedscreen on the
application you are using primarily.
