Thanks, that's good to know.  It tells us two things: 

  - we haven't significantly slowed things down with changes from 4.1.3 to 4.2, 
and
  - the performance problem you're seeing is specific to your model, as others
    haven't reported such a problem with version 4.1.x

I'll have to stufy your perf output, but in the meantime, could you provide the 
complete
output of

  ncdump -s -h 

for your file *using the 4.2 version of ncdump* rather than the older installed 
version
you apparently used, which showed no information about chunk sizes.

Thanks!
