If a client server app is not developped from the beginning for remote access, the chances are slim that it can be easily adapted for remote access. On a local network, you won't notice a refresh of a semi-large dataset but from remote, performance goes down very quickly. Depending on the DB used, long transfer times for remote users can even cause table locks for the time of the data transfer and slow down local users. Network turn around times (ping) are more important than raw transfer speed for client server apps.
