[vtkusers] Huge numbers of cubes

[Budd Hirons]

maybe vtkGlyph3D?

Can it be done as glyphs instead of a unique actor for each brick?  This 
could map thousands of glyphed bricks with one actor/mapper pair and 
seriously reduce your load.  I am glyphing 5000~8000 points with 
excellent responsiveness.  And you can pick single glyphs as well if you 
require that.
