[Paraview] Slow loading data with geometry

[Cory Quammen]

WT,

That's a decent number of cells and points, but not super big. Can you
provide details on the file format in which you are storing the data?
VTK legacy file in ASCII encoding would be slow to load, for example.

Did you build ParaView in debug mode, by change? That may also explain
the slow data loading.

Is there any sample data you can provide?

Thanks,
Cory
