Still, doing the rendering at the client side when the client side is networkologically remote means that your X server (which is very likely to have a fast 3D-capable GPU) will see its GPU going unused, while the server (rather less likely to have a GPU) suddenly has to do GPU tasks... probably using llvmpipe. Ah well.

If this is a significant concern, for a large multi-user desktop server, then you can stuff GPUs into it to offload rendering, this is what other VDI solutions support such as VMware.
