If TS Sessions running on the local network are fine, then the problem is
with the Internet connection. Highly latent internet connections like
satellite are not well suited for RDP or ICA connections. High bandwidth is
not required, but low latency is a must. A plain old dial-up connection that
acheives 33.6Kbps is usually sufficient for 1024x768 display.

If sessions on the local network are also slow, then you need to monitor the
server like any other server, i.e. CPU, RAM, Pagefile, Disktime, Network
Connections...

Disable backgroud spellcheck in Office, as this is known to tax the CPUs in
a TS.
