Hi Michele and Ken,
I'm also dealing with dataset that contain polyhedral cells. More
precisely my grids are generated using a "cutcell" approach where an
initially fully hexahedral mesh is refined in the main region of
interest. While most cells will be again hexahedral after the
refinement,
Michele,
I took a look at the data you sent me. I experienced many of the issues you
brought up.
After taking a closer look at the data, I realized that many of the cells in
your data are of the general polyhedral type. Unlike the standard cell shapes
like tetrahedron and hexahedron,
Michele,
Taking over a minute to process a data set with 1 million cells does seem like
an unreasonably long time, even for a moderately powered PC. Perhaps something
odd is happening here. Can you describe in more detail what your data look like
and what you are doing with them?

Paraview is awesome for lots of functionalities, however I find it extremely
slow in processing data with any filter type, or in changing timestep as soon
as the model size is around one million cells or above. I have experience with
a commercial tool which on the same model and pc is 100x
