Re: powerplant model on chromium

I need to have a single app node. I've tried using the display list 
mode, but for large model sizes, it crashes (the app works ok without 
chromium). Chromium has issues with display lists (expected), I'm told.

Any idea of the FPS that had been possible even with the distributed app 
nodes? I'm using a decent system (naturally better than the ancient 
800MHz ones, that is), but the server has bursts of CPU activity. This 
is followed by the network clog. I'm using a 100Mbps network, by the way.
