[Paraview] Fluent / Ensight data on cluster

[Berk Geveci]

I tracked this down and you are right. When reading EnSight files (not
sos), all processes read the whole dataset and then each one extracts
a piece. If you submit a request at http://paraview.org/Bug, we can
address this issue in the future.
