At least, that's my limited understanding of how it's meant to work.

That
wouldn't affect the CPU load on a remote machine. The current
release uses SDL, which problably isn't very romte friendly.
It *WOULD* affect the load on the remote CPU, after all, IT is the one
really executing the code. The "local" workstation is just doing display
routines and is basically a terminal. The "real" lifting is performed on
the remote system. Any "waste" within the Meterbridge processing code would
be felt on the system which is actually executing it.
Unless our terminologies are reversed: I usually refer to the X "server"
side to be the remote, and the "display client" to be the "local".
My
apologies if we're talking about it from opposite sides.
