[Paraview] Desktop-delivery and LOD settings: no influence?

[Paul Melis]

I actually get the same result when using the builtin server.

I've checked the subsampling settings, compression settings and LOD settings to see make sure I'm actually using lower resolution rendering and model decimation during interaction. I have enabled LOD Threshold and set the value to 0 (to force LOD usage during interaction, per tooltip).

I also don't see how the value for LOD resolution relates to the actual model used. I would expect something like quadric clustering to be used, but when e.g. setting LOD resolution to 10x10x10 the model during interaction uses many more triangles than "10 per direction" (or per data piece assigned per process, when showing Process Id Scalars).
