I have FP 2.5 DOS and VFP6 apps running over Citrix and I am happy with the performance. The trick as Ed Rauh and others have pointed out is in the .Refresh. Avoid refreshing a lot of controls at the same time, especially ThisForm.Refresh. When you have to, use ThisForm.LockScreen.
I have even run a VFP/MS Graph test app over Citrix connecting with a 28.8 and was happy with the performance. HTH
