[Paraview] Not understanding large memory use

[Berk Geveci]

Kent is right. Clip generates an unstructured grid and it would
significantly increase the memory usage due to the creation of
explicit geometry (cells and points). Unfortunately, there is no way
of "clipping" an image to produce another image in VTK. Depending on
what you are trying to accomplish, a combination of clipping the
surface (generated with extract surface) and cutting may be what you
want.
