Hi Amit, There will definitely be delays in screen refresh rates as a result of the RDP connection, so if, for example, you're dragging a map or other objects you may notice some lag. You might try adjusting Windows visual settings for "best performance" from the System control panel.
There are also "performance" settings on the RDP client itself. Try opening Remote Desktop Connection and manually entering the connection information -- depending upon your platform, the RDP client settings for performance will be in a different tab. GIS software can also be doing a lot of number crunching. (Confirm the specs in Windows System control panel on the client VM if you haven't already to make sure the proper resources are assigned by VCL.) Have you run any other applications in the VM/VCL environment that experience similar issues?
