I cannot understand, how the video card on the server can affect the 
performance of the client and I am not sure, if this is the relevant 
information:

.xsession-errors (grep compiz):

/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this 
isn't going to work.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on 
display :0.0
