[Paraview] difficulties with volume rendering

[Dominik Szczerba]

I am volume rendering some large transient data and it takes several 
hours till done, which is no problem. The problem is to start it: I get 
my camera right in surface mode, but between the moment I switch to 
volume representation and the moment the generation of images begins is 
enormous pain. I have to wait for several screen refreshes before I am 
finally able to start, and each refresh takes several minutes. Is there 
a way to avoid this?
