[Paraview] memory load on client when running on server

[jean mensa]

Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. I have already tried to connect to a
pvserver from a GUI running on the client (without an ssh connection then)
but it also drains the memory on Xorg. What is the load supposed to be on a
client-pvserver connection?
Thanks,
