I don't quite understand what you're hoping to acheive. Any sort of remote operation over the internet is going to be slow. But what exactly are you hoping to acheive, from a user's perspective?
It sounds like the user is supposed to be remotely operate a Windows application...running on a Linux computer? With WINE, perhaps?
What's not clear is what you're expecting of the client computer. Is this client computer a diskless workstation booting off of the server--like LTSP? If so, then your options are going to be severely limited and performance will be utterly pathetic. TFTP is completely insecure outside a LAN, and won't be able to deal with the unreliability and lagginess of the internet.
The client computer should boot locally, NOT like LTSP. You can perhaps use a liveCD or even a floppy disc.
How many users? If it's only one or a small handful, then vnc may be what you're looking for.
