I have a small 3ghz Quad Core 2003 server running as a Terminal Server.

For standard office applications it's fine, no problems with
performance. The system has 4GB ram, never seems to use more than 1GB
and the CPU load shows about 15% across all cores at peak times,
normally about 15% on core 1 and 2-8% on the other cores. Typically
there are 1-5 users connected at any given time.

Users connect remotely across the internet via Business DSL connections
that are rated for 3mbps/3mbps and testing shows that they get that
up/down almost always.

The server is sitting on a 10mbps fiber connection (behind a firewall).

We've had issues with some users running a real-time mapping program
that shows live updates for truck locations - it performs very slowly,
screen updates are terrible for the maps, but their MS Office apps
update fine (when not running the mapping application). The only
performance hit is when using the mapping application - CPU load still
runs under 15% and memory doesn't increase, drive queue's don't
increase... So it appears to be the large screen area update and the
fact that the maps update in real-time faster than the screens can
redraw.

I've always been under the impression that TS was not something anyone
would want to run graphics apps on, but I wanted to check and see if
anyone has a performance suggestion that I might not be aware of.

Thanks
