[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Client - Server , Linux -- slow dialog boxes, though the rendering seems ok?

[Scott, W Alan]

If open data is slow, how long does it take to do an 'ls' in the directory?  If your directory has too many files in it, Linux itself slows down.  ParaView has to do a "stat" command on every file, trying to figure out if it is just a file or a directory.

The way around this is to put different parts of your simulation in sub directories.  I.e., restarts in a different directory than your output.

Hi,
I got a basic client-server set-up working -- in this instance where I have direct access to both machines and the server is not 'headless' . the rendering of volume data seems fast as I expect , but oddly some 'not-rendering' tasks seem to be unusually slow; such as opening the 'file open' dialog box , any ideas ?? 
This is Linux Red hat EL 6 with GNOME desktop , I can ask the admins about any more detailed configurations.

Thanks
Robert
