The reason for xfs was to move the computation and I/O off to the server,

IIRC, xfs was design to move the initial rendering of font files into
font pixmaps out of the server to avoid temporary freezing when an
application requested a new font.
Client-side font-rendering
doesn't appear to solve that problem. Rather than discussing technology,
so far all I've seen is noise about "new", etc.
Each app being responsible for generating and uploading fonts using
Render, it does solve all problems :
oh. (I see you did not respond to my question, so I'll make it simpler).
How would Render reduce network traffic compared to xfs when drawing large
amounts of text?
(xfs would be as usual on the same machine as the X server, unless you
want to make a contrived case).
