[Paraview] Surface LIC memory usage

Hi,

I am seeing some pretty astounding memory usage when using the LIC. My 
dataset is 100MB image 2D image data. When I load it and display using a 
slice rep. I use about 800MB of RAM, but when I turn on LIC rep. memory 
usage goes up to 18GB!! What's worse is that as I advance through the 
time series with each new step the memory usage grows by 4GB or more, 
until I run out of RAM. I put the output from one run below, memory 
usage is reported in KB.

Does anyone know why LIC rep. requires such a massive amount of RAM? I 
didn't see any outright large leaks, so it must be part of this rep. 
design? And can anything be done to prevent the growth in its usage over 
time?
