I have just a few days ago gotten to the same conclusion. Reading some large 
PLY files on our Cray nodes which only have 32Gb of memory, I would run out of 
memory and crash. Checking memory usage with the "Memory Inspector" will show 
that everything is loaded on rank 0.

Using the D3 filter works and is able to re-distribute the data among all 
tasks. I suggest you try D3.

Note also that ParaView is not able to animate through a time-dependent series 
of files, using the GUI. Never got any feedback on an earlier post 
(http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2015-January/032999.html).<http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2015-January/032999.html%29.>
 I resorted to some python programming to run the animation.

cheers
