Nice!
What a difference.
Thanks, Yuan.

Brian,
You can check out the nightly release to test the newly added feature for
CSV text point data.
After installing the nightly release, you can open this slow bundle and
wait for it to finish. Then, go to display control of the point dataset and set
View > Times > Use Time Driver Times, then, you need to reload the file in the
same display control: File > Reload data. I tested your bundle and the
performance is very good.
When working on the new CSV point dataset, you also need to create the
display first and then set the Use Time Driver Times and reload the data. This
design is not perfect. For the CSV point data, we don't have any time
information until the user clicks the create display button. Also, this is the
quickest solution I can provide. Let me know if you see any
problem.

Not to confuse the issue or the path you are investigating, but you
might also explore "Point Cloud" -- both as a data type and as a
Display Type (under "Volume").
It was designed to be a very efficient way to display many (many)
points -- typically used for trajectories or (aircraft) tracks, but
has been used before for other situations involving datasets with a
large number of points. I have no idea how this might work with a time
driver, however, as it was created before that concept was
implemented.
