[Paraview] Paraview is running slow

[Pradeep Jha]

Hello,

I installed Paraview on my Macbook Air with 1 processor and on a Linux
Machine with 32 processors. On both the systems I installed the the binary
form of Paraview (not from source code). I opened the same binary data file
on both systems which is 512 MB in size, but I find that the Paraview on
Linux is running far slower than the Mac. I am executing Paraview on both
machines by simply calling the paraview executable from command line.

I am the only user on both machines, so it is not affected by other users.

The processor information of both machines are given below.  Any ideas if I
am doing something wrong?

Thank you,
Pradeep
