Scott,

It may be that I could be bettering how I use ParaView. What I am doing is
basically extracting frames as PNGs from a number of timesteps so I can
perform some post processing on said frames on the same node. The product I
am creating is a time machine - like these here.
http://timemachine.cmucreatelab.org/wiki/Main_Page  - I am basically just
taking advantage of the rendering capabilities of ParaView to get my hd
images :) The ending product just let's me through it on a server somewhere
that is a pretty light load to share. But ParaView Web looks promising too,
I might have to do some comparisons

Thanks!
Noah
