How fast is a terminal services connection?
You refer to a database application. I assume it is making database calls over the VPN?
A lot of database applications make lots of very small queries to the database and in these situations it is the packet delay between the client and the server which slows down the application. If this is what is causing you the problem then there is very little you can do other than get the software author to improve the efficiency of the database application by making more use of stored procedures for example.

Having a specialized device which has VPN accelerator built-in would definitely help speed the VPN connection; on the current connection if you reduce the encryption from AES-256 to 3DES; this can also help speed up the connection.
One more comparatively less secure way is to use PPTP VPN tunnel rather than MUVPN (IPSec) VPN Tunnel.
You might also want to look at the current upload speed of 768 kbps which looks dwarf when compared with your download speed of 8 mbps.
Thank you.
