You can do various things.  Normally LAS points get read in blocks to
improve performance, but all points are loaded before the buffer is handed
off to the next processing step (your colorization).  You can subclass
SimplePointTable to use the standard (non-streaming) interface.  As an
alternative, you can subclass StreamPointTable and then use the streaming
interface, loading as many points into the buffer as you like to process at
once.
