You've been asked to test something. Might be worth testing it and
reporting back the real-world performance and issues then?
The remote machine may well be faster than your i5, especially if it's
only running what you need, has access to fast(er) storage than your
internal disk and has more RAM. I wouldn't assume that just because it's
remote it has to be slow(er).

So again, test it and report back.
