[Paraview] How to read a series of a series of data into memory?

[Moreland, Kenneth]

It sounds like the geometry cache for the animation would do the trick.  Open the Animation Inspector (View -> Animation Inspector) and scroll to its bottom.  Turn on the Cache Geometry flag and make sure that the Cache limit is large enough to hold all the polygonal geometry over all time steps.

Incidentally, these options should be moving to the application settings soon (bug #5768).

Hi everyone.
I am wondering if there is a way to read a series of a series of files into memory at one time.
I understand that there is a restarted reader mechanism in Paraview and it can do the job for me. But the problem is that my data is kind of large, I have to wait a long time for a series of files to load from hard disk for each time step. This isn't a good thing for me, since I need to animate the data in a acceptable frame rate.
So, once again, is there a way to load all my files with time step information into memory at one time?
Thanks very much for any of your comment.
