[Paraview] RAM friendly file format?

[mattijs]

binary legacy VTK files are probably as ram efficient as any.

Does paraview crash when reading the file or when displaying it? If the first 
your files are probably excessively big, if second the file format does not 
matter. Did you monitor the ram usage?

Can you split your problem into smaller files? Write different results to 
different files?
