Block processing is unacceptably slow
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Block processing is unacceptably slow in ParaView. Solid mechanics folks often have dozens to hundreds - or fairly rarely thousands - of blocks. EnSight deals with these blocks very well from a performance standpoint, ParaView very poorly or not at all. For instance, reading two toy datasets, with a lot of blocks (many.e and bake.e), I get the following benchmark data:
EnSight Local server bake.e - under a second load. many.e - 5 seconds for load
Remote server bake.e - one second? (unclear when data load started) many.e - 5 seconds for load
ParaView Local server bake.e - 26 seconds many.e - didn't load after 600 seconds.
ParaView must be able to load within a reasonable ballpark of other sci-viz program's numbers.
