100 percent CPU use on RDP client

Hi,

I'am running a application via remote desktop on a server. There is an
agenda applicatrion running that takes 100% cpu of the client when
dragging the appointments from one day/time to another. The window is
walking far behind. Making the window smaller speeds things up. It looks
like the videocard is consuming all the CPU power of the client. The
server is running smooth no bottle necks.

Client:
AMD Athlon 1800+
512Mb RAM
nvidia AGP FX 5200 (latest driver)
screen 1650x1050
1Gb nic

Remote desktop within the local WAN or RD through VPN to outside the domain?
Anyway, it's not the videocard that's the issue here. Even the nastiest 5
year bottom end corporate Dell boxes with integrated video will do RD
sessions without video redraw issues. Any process eating 100% of the client
CPU will slow RD to a crawl. That's the issue. What's the ping on the client
from the server?

Thanks for you replay.
No, directly on the LAN on a Gb-switch.

I opened the taskmanager of the client. And then go back to the RD
showing me the CPU utilization of the client. When dragging the
appointments the CPU goes to 100% from nearly nothing.

Ping is fast.fast, very fast 1ms

BTW. It's the taskmanager which is taking the time

Probably not a viable solution for you at this time, but the real advantage
of dual core shows up in situations like this.

Augustus, thanks for your attention.
It appears to be a defective VGA card. Replaced the vga card, troubles over!
