Traditionally (not sure if the latest incarnations of RDP or ICA have changed this much), RDP could be faster at full screen updates, whereas ICA could be much faster at partial screen updates. In translation, at LAN type connection speeds, there's probably little in it - perhaps tipping the wink to RDP. At true WAN type, and slower, speeds, ICA *should* be notably better performing. As always, YMMV, and individual apps and expectations will vary.
