[Paraview] Not clear about paraview's benchmark

[Cally K]

Hi everyone, I have run my polydata file on Paraview, and attached is
the result I obtained from the timer log. I was wondering if someone
could explain the results, as I only understand partially. From what I
understand,the images are being sent back to the local machine for
rendering..and the processing happens at the servers.. am I right...
what does vtkPVUpdateSuppressor and ordered
vtkOrderedCompositeDistributor do..?

Thanks...
