[Paraview] Ensight

[Randall Hand]

Lots of information missing here.
1) What are you animating? Single Isovalue for multiple timesteps?  Multiple
isovalues?
2) What data type are you using?  Native VTK, Native Ensight, or a 3rd
party.  Each of the first two give a somewhat unfair advantage to one
product, if you're going for a truly even comparison.
3) What data format are you using? Structured, unstructured?  2d, 3d?
4) What pipeline/viz tools are you using?
5) What exactly are you counting time for?  Data load, or just computation?
I bet you're just timing the actual time to generate all the isosurfaces,
and Ensight gets a big win because it preloads all the data at once where
Paraview loads it as it goes.
