And now imagine that server also having to render 40 3d environments at once in realtime and transfer that image data in realtime to the clients.


Yeah, that.
It does seem there is to little bandwidth and computing power. I wonder tho in the future your quad core CPU plus dual core video card might actually be part of the cloud and you might be computing 2 or 3 other peoples information. Not the direct rendering but perhaps enough to make slow computers cope better.
