[Paraview] More Q about Paraview & Tiled Displays

[Randall Hand]

See, that's the trick.. "Reduced" Geometry on the client.  How do I get this
mystical "reduced" geometry on the client,w ith full-rez on the display?

No matter what I set "Client collect" to, my 60+ million triangle surface is
shown as mere bounding boxes to the client.
