This is due to the overhead of down sampling 16-bit to 256 colors when
running at low color, i.e. Citrix (as far as I know) recommends 16-bit
versus 256 colors due to better performance on the server and insignificant
difference with the bandwidth. However 24-bit WILL impact your bandwidth.

We have been told repeatedly by Citrix that there is essentially no greater
bandwidth used for higher color depth. While I find this hard to understand,
reliable sources have confirmed it.

How much more bandwidth is consumed running 24-bit color, than 16-bit color,
in general, I know it would depend on how many graphics were involved.
