Why does printing or saving something over a Virtual Desktop connection take so long?
When you are working on a document in Microsoft Word via Virtual Desktop, for example, the application is running on the remote Virtual Desktop server. When you save that document back to your hard drive, it is more like downloading it from the internet, which essentially, is what you are doing. This will take much longer than if you were saving it from the RAM on your local machine to your local hard drive because the document never leaves the inside of your computer. The same rules apply to printing to a mapped printer.
