How do optimise the performance of Remmina?

Question

I have installed Remmina on my Oneiric Ubuntu laptop for home RDP access to my work Windows 7 PC.

This works, I can access my work PC etc...however the performance is not what I had hoped. I am using the default settings for Remmina, and after researching through Google I have set my mouse pointers option on tehe windows 7 box to none.

Can any one else offer any advise on how to configure Remmina prefernces to optimise the performance please? Thank you

AFAIK Remmina uses FreeRDP as its RDP backend. Since FreeRDP is under heavy development the FreeRDP version (0.8.2-2build1) in 11.10 may not be as optimized as the development versions from the FreeRDP homepage.

For high-performance (kind of) RDP connections to Windows 7 (or other RDP servers) I use rdesktop (command line) with the following settings:

rdesktop -a 16 -z -x m -P SERVERNAME
