[Paraview] Correctly Parallel Processing of OpenFoam results using pvserver

I'm attempting to use pvserver to accelerate the post-processing of my
openfoam solution. I have a 48 core machine. I have correctly installed and
compiled a parallel copy of paraview 4.1.0 with OpenFOAM 2.4.x. If I open a
simple .obj file I can see that different parts of the surface are rendered
using different processors. I can also see that the memory is shared among
the parallel processes.

When I open a reconstructed openFOAM solution with 20 million cells with
paraview connected to 40 process pvserver, the image seems to be rendered
(or processed) with only 1 processor. Is there a step that I'm missing to
parallelize the reconstructed Openfoam data files for rendering?
