In the restore case, where we've got a dedicated server with a dedicated client machine, I don't see why there would be a speed benefit from running the same parse / convert code on the client versus running it on the server. Imagine a pipeline where there is a bottleneck, moving the bottleneck to a different machine doesn't make it less of a bottleneck. - Luke
