[Paraview] memory load on client when running on server

[Burlen Loring]

Jean,

What you describe is expected. X forwarding doesn't work well for 
visualizing large datasets. The point is : don't use X forwarding. The 
links show how to configure the client server connection without X 
forwarding. Make sure that there is no -X on the ssh command line.
