I use RDi and VPN. I find using iProjects speeds up coding because the code is downloaded and stored on my machine and allows me to work offline.
I don’t find debugging slow at all. Pushing code using our change management system is also responsive.
The noticeable slow parts are Outline updates and iSphere source searches. But, you learn to anticipate and adjust your work style.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi and VPN
Hi,
many developers I talk to complain that working with RDi when using it over
VPN is very tedious, as all actions in RDi run very slowly.
Does anyone have any idea if RDi performance can be improved when using VPN?
I am also thinking about a Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services and
RDi installed. Here the developers could connect to the Windows Server via
RDP and then work with RDi in the local network. This should actually allow
developers working via VPN to work with RDi with good performance. This will
cost extra money, but certainly less than if the developers always have to
wait for an action to finish in RDi. Has anyone ever implemented something
like this?
