Comment(by saml@…):

 Did a test in the Leopard Ugrad lab, running the same software, and it
 doesn't do the spinning ball like it's hanging, but it also doesn't rotate
 when you click and drag, so other than the spinning ball, appears the
 issue is in Leopard as well. I also looked into filing a bug upstream for
 vtk and all I can find is commercial support contracts on the kitware
 website. Does vtk have a bug tracker, or at least an e-mail address I can
 e-mail to file a bug?

 many library issues will be resolved by others for Snow Leopard sometime
 in the next 6-18 months.  Hence, I don't have a test system for SL.

 the port has done it's job.  So, this problem may be an upstream issue to
 be addressed with Kitware/vtk developers.  That is, there may be elements
 of the source code to be modified for working with SL.  I have limited
 experience playing around with the render code for Cocoa in the vtk source
 distribution.  In the MacPort, there are no custom modifications to the
 source code (none that I'm aware of).  Check the vtk user mailing lists to
 see if there are any posts about similar behavior.
