As a followup to this that may be related - does the CGNS reader through the VisItBridge work in parallel? I've loaded up a couple of different CGNS datasets and then applied the ProcessIDScalars filter and it doesn't appear to be distributing the data - even multi-block CGNS files.

I am testing the CGNS reader of Paraview 4.0.1 64 bits running on a Linux Workstation having 4 CPUs and 5.8 Gbytes of memory. Paraview was installed from the binaries available on the download page. I am trying to load a 1.36 Gbytes CGNS file that is available through the network. While loading this file, the Paraview Windows is frozen and cannot be refreshed, and I must check with the "ps" command on a terminal window or with a system monitor if PV is still running or if it is really frozen. A progress bar for all readers would be welcome in a next release. Finally, the file can be loaded, but it always takes about 15 mn (+ or - 1 mn depending of the load of the network), while Tecplot always loads the same file within less that 1 mn ! How do you explain this poor performance of the CGNS reader ? Can it be improved, or am I missing something ? Is there some Paraview option that could reduce loading time of large files ?
