Not sure I understand what you are trying to say. Actually they are "rendered from the server" not on the client (I think you meant this).
BTW, you can have components that really render on the client, but this means that the component renders JavaScript and then it takes over rendering - this is an advanced technique and not widely used.
So far, the only performance issues I've seen are with pages that have a unreasonably large (I mean really big) number of components on them - Of course stylistically you probably wouldn't want to have a page with an overly excessive amount of components on them anyway. Just common sense.
