This is definitely the case. Depending on the desktop session manager  
used with X2Go you can observe more rendering CPU consumption on the  
client (for old style desktop shells like XFCE, LXDE etc.) or more CPU  
consumption for rendering on the server (GNOME3, Unity, Plasma et al.).

However, as the old-style desktop shell are rather extensive CPU  
cylcle consumers, the server-side rendering becomes more evident to  
the user. X2Go decreases in performance the more widget rendering  
happens on the server (as those rendered entities have to be  
transferred as bitmap-like graphics).

Nable, thanks for throwing in your 2¢.
