Right on Rick.
Cathy - your best bet for PPT's via Citrix Conferencing Manager is plain
black and white text with no special features or photos. Try it
out...you'll see a big difference. (Remember - DO NOT run a PPT
presentation from your client C$ drives...BIG performance hit
there...run them off of a network drive with fast connectivity to the
Citrix servers - I recommend that my users run them off of their TS Home
Directory)
If you can't sacrifice the "fluff" of pictures and special effects might
I suggest giving Citrix's GoToMeeting solution a try? It's much more
robust and I've found it's priced better than many other web
conferencing solutions. It's run across the Internet and you don't need
a domain login to connect (which makes it easier \ more secure when your
users want to give sales presentations to outside customers)

Hi,
The basic issue here is the overhead in updating the on-screen bitmap
with a complex powerpoint presentation. Throw in animation effects, lots
of colors and a few nice high definition backgrounds and things start
getting a lot slower.
Some thin clients perform a lot better than others displaying powerpoint
presentations and lossy compression will help a lot but generally that's
all that you can do.
Sorry, forgot one major thing that will make big powerpoint
presentations fly.
Keep them simple ;-)
regards,
Rick

Brian,
The ppt is located on a network drive. Would resizing high-res photos
in PhotoShop help?
thanks

Cathy,
1) Where was the ppt file located? I've seen _drastic_
differences in response based on where the file is coming from. If it's
off of your hard drive...performance is bad. If it's off of a network
or server drive, performance is much better.
2) Keep your slides simple...Performance in CCM does not do well
with high-res photos, moving slides with special fading effects \ etc
cause lags.

Our farm is MPS 4.0 and we are using CCM 3.0. I kicked off a conference
to view a MS PowerPoint presentation. The ppt was 52mb in size with a
couple graphic intensive slides. There was some lag time when these
slides were presented, they were slowly painted on the screen and
transitions were also slow. Can any fine tuning be done on CCM or MPS
to have larger ppts present more quickly and smoother? Thanks.
Cathy
