While I agree with Dennis, I can tell you our experience is that the
server-based approach is measurably slower. I chalk it up to the
bandwidth between the server and local user.
I mention this only to note, for it to be faster, all components must be
examined. The total speed is limited by the slowest link.

You may also have an inadequate amount of memory, something tying up the
system memory hive, or a memory leak. Someone needs to troubleshoot why
the server is not performing adequately. It sounds like there is
something wrong with the server. The server should give better
performance than a PC if everything is working as it should, the
hardware is adequate, and it is configured correctly.
