Description
Xvfb cannot be accelerated by a GPU. I think that's the reason why the rerun and recording of a prev simulation is so slow (1-2 FPS)
Maybe we should switch to VirtualGL?

Research direction
Start with the main Dockerfile and investigate how Xvfb is used for simulation reruns and recording. Compare whether VirtualGL addresses the reported 1–2 FPS performance, and consider the work complete when the chosen approach is defined and the rerun and recording performance is measured.
