You might want to try using a vtkLODActor instead of a vtkActor.  Read
the source/docs for more information.  If you are using the
vtkTkRenderWidget or wxVTKRenderWindow or one of the other widgets
please check out a recent CVS/nightly.  Support for changing the
desired update rate and still update rate was added to the widgets
(the vtkLODActor has details on what that means).
