Running VMware View Client over ICA...

This is a bad idea.  I read about it awhile back and wanted to try it.  The idea of hosting the View Client on a XenApp server is very practical on networks that have an existing XenApp infrastucture.  However, the performance hit that I observed was significant when compared to simply using the View Client over the WAN.  This is probably because the graphics traffic is getting re-rendered two times; once by the View Client (PCoIP) and once by the Citirx Client (ICA).  The resulting slow down was workable, but not something I would want end-users to experience.
