Remote Desktop Connection gets slower and slower, reboot helps

We have a user that is connecting from home to her machine here at work,
Windows XP Pro SP1. When she first connects, the desktop experience is fine.
Over time - a day or so? - it becomes slower and slower to the point of being
unusable. We experience the same thing over our 1gb LAN connection to this
machine.

Is there something I can monitor, adjust, or narrow down to help this?

Thanks, in advance, for your help!
Mike
