[vtkusers] 30 million points and Render

30 million points typically takes around 600 MB of memory for one copy in
VTK. Using one cell is typically the way to go. I have loaded/processed 200
million point datasets on my laptop and it seems OK with 16GB of RAM. But
if you are creating many copies or have a long pipeline or have lots of
attributes on each point (such as normal, scalar values, etc) then the
memory cost will climb.

Thanks
Ken
