The performance bug has been in the code since almost
the beginning of opendap support.  It is possible
(even probable) that you will not encounter it.
It occurs when you read a large variable and specify
it as a constraint in the url. E.g. http://x.com/y.nc?var[0:1]
The bug is that the code ignores the [0:1] and reads
the whole variable.  The result is correct, but unnecessary
data is read.

If this is umimportant to you, then either 4.1.2 or
4.1.3 (with the patched files I posted) will do fine.
