    This is a company that’s been reported to use the dwell time of you mouse over a product as a potential indicator of interest. Something like a Citrix remote desktop is extremely chatty trying to keep the origin and server in sync with every move of a mouse or keystroke. If the ACKs from the origin confirming the receipt of screen change data took an abnormally long time it could show in system performance metrics pretty easily.
