No, it solves them locally and in not much more time than a regular image link. It does not require much in the way of resources either. Just the use of a special datafile that is a few gigabytes in size. It works extremely well.
By the way, TheSkyX image link apparently doesn't handle fields of view over 10 degrees wide, but the all-sky image link can be made to automatically crop images so that this isn't a problem. They do need to be FITS format images though.
