 While we sometimes render those on the server with Blender or Xj3D we
haven't been doing any server-side real-time rendering like onlive etc.  So
likely not helpful in that regard.

I've been using X3DOM a fair bit recently and pleasantly happy with its
performance.  That said I'm doing single Shape node triangle pushes so its
hard to mess that up.  I suspect in your terrain applications with lots of
shapes and network load/unload it might be a different story.
