Features of Speedscreen Browser Acceleration 1. Background Image Delivery - images from the server are transferred to the ICA Client in their native (compressed) format using a new virtual channel. 2. Progressive Drawing - images begin to appear on the client before the image has downloaded completely. Applies to JPEG images only. The longer that it will take an image to transfer to the client, the greater the likelihood that the image will be drawn progressively 3. Responsive Scrolling - users are free to scroll the page before any image content has been delivered for that page. Images are not resent during a scroll operation; instead, a reference to the previously downloaded image is sent. 4. JPEG image recompression - Compression reduces the size of the image with the trade-off of reduced image quality.
