Interesting. Sounds a lot like this product from HP:
 
http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
 
Looks like both depend on hardware acceleration, of which we have none
on our Citrix clients. Even without acceleration, though, these products
may have benefit. 
 
Thanks for the tip!
