Abstract
An intermediary system operates as an intermediary between content servers and user devices, and provides services for improving page load times as seen by end users. One such service involves converting all or a portion of a retrieved content page (e.g., web page) into a stream of graphics commands, such as OpenGL commands, that can be executed by the user device's graphics processing unit (GPU). The intermediary system sends these commands to a browser component running on the user device for execution by the GPU.
