I have read reports that enabling font smoothing in Windows has drastic performance penalties for RDP. As far as accelerators, they work by compressing the data before transit. So if the bulk of your data is already compressed, e.g. jpeg's and pdf's, then you will see little benefit.

We are a small business with only 15 users. 10 of them use the terminal server (2003). They complain of the speed of viewing pdfs using adobe acrobat standard (the powers do not want foxit), and the speed of viewing images (especially in power point and word). I am hopeing a WAN accelerater will speed up RDP enough to reduce the complaining. And maybe later we could see about doing something instead of terminal server.
