In my humble opinion, there is still a difference and the link between
your servers and your client is the crucial bit. For LAN speeds RDP is
fine (from a performance viewpoint). Over a satellite link, RDP can be
unusable. I did read somewhere that RDP tends to use the link even when
nothing is happening. I know when you check an ICA connection, if
nothing is happening on the session, then the link isn't used.
Therefore, the number of sessions may be an issue for you.
In your situation, the best thing to do is to set up a test and to see
if the increase in cost is justified. If it makes an unusable system
usable, it might be worth the cost. If it's a "nice to have" then
probably not.
Hope this helps

Subject: [THIN] Performance of Citrix vs RDP for images
A client of mine is considering moving to Citrix from Vanilla Terminal
Services *purely* on the basis of improved performance viewing
graphics/PDFs etc. Can anyone give feedback on how much of a difference
there is?
