Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that I am not sure if we want one
big file per time step. It might happen that paraview in parallel is
less efficient reading one big file. One solution would be to write
something like n*0.05 files, where n is the number of compute
processes. I already have an idea how to easily implement this. If we
visualize with n*0.05 parallel paraview nodes, we would end up with
one file per process, which should work fine. I guess this is
something we need to experiment with...
