Terminal Services / Remote Desktop
Due to the graphic intensive nature of RMS 9+, RMS recommends against using it in a terminal services/remote desktop environment.
Multiple benchmarks and real-world examples have shown that running locally, even on slow hardware outperforms remote desktop in most scenarios.
In some environments, Firefox performs much faster than Google Chrome.
In some environments, Chrome performs better when the option 'Use hardware acceleration when available' disabled.
