Thanks for the suggestion, this does indeed improve the speed.

At the moment, everything is running as a single process therefore not
taking advantage of the dual-core processor. Is there an easy way to
get the pipeline to run bits in parallel?
I had a brief look at vtkParallelRenderManager, but without an example
I'm a little lost!
