It doesn't matter where the EXE file resides: provided the clinet can get to it (and has the right permissions to execute it) when the client machine user starts the app it executes on the client machine, and uses Client resources, not server.

That's a simplification, of course - if it uses data files on the server, then the server file system will be loaded, and so on. But memory and CPU time will be used on the Client machine by the execution as if the EXE had been located on a local hard drive.
