Thanks for the suggestion. I used instruments.app on paraview while it was hanging. Using the spin monitor, there were many different processes which were hanging. Most of the time was spent on these operations: libdispatch.dylib: _dispatch_mgr_wakeup libsystem.dylib: start_wqthread
Less time was spent during these calls, libvtkPVServerManagerCore-pv3.98.1.dylib: vtkSMProxy::GetProperty(char const*, int) libsystem_c.dylib: szone_free_definite_size (on a number of objects in QTCore and libvtkpqCore) Time spend in other parts of the code are under 5% each. If it's helpful I can provide a dump of all the calls captured by Instruments. If anybody has any new suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
