[Paraview] memory load on client when running on server

[Burlen Loring]

Yes, this is expected. The OpenGL calls get piped to your local system. 
This includes data like vertices and colors as well. X forwarding 
doesn't give good performance and with large data it may not even be 
feasible.

You need to set up client server connection.
