Yes, it will destagger the grids.  The GEMPAK reading is pretty
new, so let me know if you find any problems.  I know other sites
are using the GEMPAK WRF grids in IDV, so it should be okay.

Hmm, I haven't seen that before.  Usually it's a heapspace issue.  See:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/Faq.html#memory

for info on upping the heap space.

No problem.
