I have used CITRIX where it performed extremely well, you would not have known you weren't working locally and I have also worked on CITRIX where there was horrific lag time. I believe both the CITRIX server hardware (Is there enough CPU power and RAM to do everthing it is being asked to do) and Network saturation have great impact on its overall performance to the end-user. In one case, we had simply gobbled up all the RAM so the server was slower than molasses, as soon as we added a few DIMs of RAM we were back in business. So in my humble opinion, CITRIX works great if it is everything it depends on is adequate. Also, there are settings that can be tweaked to improve user experience, especially if connecting using Dialup. What Nkl Hd says is both True and False at the same time.

Even at lan speed, applications typically have a slow response time - that dragging feeling. The ICA protocol makes up for some of this and is a definite improvement over RDP, but it's not the same as actually running an application locally.
