It'll reflect the speed (more or less) of whichever computer
it was run on.
Run on the technicians computer, it's that computer's speed.
Run on the remotely connected home computer, it's that
computer's speed.
(I'm making some assumptions about what you might mean by
"remotely connected", but in general, that's the scoop.)
