All,

I will never be mistaken for a Linux sys admin, so let me try to tell you what 
is happening in a hopefully understandable way.

We run Paraview standalone on our workstations - no  remote server, etc.   Just 
running the executables DL'ed from the website.

We constantly have an issue with Paraview not having enough memory to behave 
properly.
If I run TOP at the command line, I might see that nothing is using more than 
2% of memory, but in the header it says I have 32GB of ram and 28GB is "used" 
in the terminology of TOP.   This will mean that Paraview will have very little 
memory available to it (confirmed using Memory inspector) and it will be very 
slow!     However, other programs, including other post-processors seem to be 
able to access this "used" memory and perform much better.    What is it about 
Paraview which makes it unable to utilize this "used" but apparently available 
memory, while other programs can?

If more info is needed, can someone help me understand how to get the needed 
info.   After discussing this several times with the sys admins, they just want 
me to go away because apparently only Paraview has this issue.

Thanks for any help

Dennis
