Hi Daniel,

   Yes, there can be a difference in performance.  When using local
rendering in the paraviewweb client (either webgl or VGL, which is also
based on webgl), the server delivers the geometry to the client to be
rendered locally.  This can be much faster as long as the geometry is not
too large.  In this case, it would not matter whether the server used
software rendering instead of the GPU.

   Just be aware that this approach will not work when the geometry gets
too large to fit in the client GPU memory all at once.

Cheers,
Scott
