Hi Jean, I had previously done this, as well as the test (for my test I set the pixel size to 20, and I clearly see the large ones during interaction) but when I run the timer log, the rendering always shows up as a local process while if I do analysis (thresholding on a variable value for example) it does show up in the Server section under each process.
*E.g. for some interactive rendering I get Local Process Interactive Render, 0.111477 seconds Interactive Render, 0.094096 seconds ... Still Render, 1.2302 seconds Server, Process 0 Server, Process 1 Server, Process 2 Server, Process 3 While for a threshold I get Local Process Interactive Render, 0.111477 seconds .. Still Render, 1.2302 seconds Still Render, 0.116044 seconds Server, Process 0 Execute vtkThreshold id: 2054, 1.04218 seconds Execute vtkPVGeometryFilter id: 2087, 0.020597 seconds Server, Process 1 Execute vtkThreshold id: 2054, 0.987578 seconds Execute vtkPVGeometryFilter id: 2087, 0.020291 seconds ... I do get server processes in the timer log but only when I first open the file: Server, Process 0 Execute vtkTipsyReader id: 2664, 2.84199 seconds Execute vtkPVGeometryFilter id: 2712, 0.062723 seconds ... After that, during and after interaction I do not see server processes appearing in the log. This made me think that after this point, the rendering was done on the client. Is the timer log not behaving as I expected? Christine > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:31:41 +0200 > From: "Jean M.
