- Turn off your sound
- Increase your RAM
- Set your CPU usage to max in the foreground and min in the background
- When initally setting up VPC, make the hard drive sizes 'hard' (a fixed size, mine are 4 gig) rather than a soft one that fluctuates in size. Otherwise, VPC will spend half its time calculating the size of an ever changing drive size.
- Disable the VPCRCN.exe (I think that's right), which allows you to copy from your PC desktop to your Macs (use shared files instead). You will find it in Control Panels -> Administrator Tools -> Add/remove Components.
- Defrag your drive on a regular basis.
Also it would be good to hear if anyone else has any further suggestions, or if it is quicker using an old PC with Microsoft's Remote Desktop.
