[Paraview] Large .vtp file crashes PV3

[Berk Geveci]

I tracked this down and I am not surprised about the crash :-) Your
graphics card is running out of memory. By default, ParaView uses
display lists which means roughly ParaView pretty much uploads the
whole geometry into the graphics card's memory. This is done for
performance when geometry is small to medium size. You can turn this
behavior off from the settings panel. Set "Use Immediate Mode
Rendering" to on. However, it will be still terribly slow as 370MB is
very big to render on 1 graphic card.
