I am under the impression that for a typical server the overhead of
encryption is something like 1-3% of CPU. I imagine that it could make a
difference on a heavily loaded system, but we always leave it on and
size according to maintain the best security.

On our ICA client we have always used 128-bit encryption. My new boss
feels we do not need 128-bit encryption any longer due to performance
gains it will provide us. I have protested that I feel we should never
understate security and we should keep our ICA client packets set to use
128-bit encryption.
Am I wrong to desire us to leave our ICA client packet set to 128-bit
encryption? Do we really gain a lot of performance gains by using the
Citrix Encryption default setting instead?
I value this list opinions so I am asking for your feedback!
Thank You.
