    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.<br>

                    <div dir="ltr">Hi all,
                      <div>I have a rather large unstructured pvtu
                        dataset (about 4 million points) which I am
                        visualizing on a remote server. I am running the
                        paraview GUI (with the multicore option) on the
                        server and I connect to it via ssh sharing the X
                        server. In this way I can control the GUI
                        running on the serve. I thought that with this
                        configuration I would only receive a screenshot
                        of the window and no actual data from paraview
                        but the client seems to share at least some of
                        the load of the visualization. Is this the
                        expected behaviour? How can I avoid loading data
                        on the client side?</div>
                      <div>Thanks in advance,</div>
