Greetings Arie, We are currently working with the HYCOM group to see if we can help improve performance. The issue is that they are aggregating several large files (each >2 GB) for each day over an entire year - this can take quite a bit of time to do, but it is taking exceptionally long in the HYCOM case. I do not believe the TDS places a restriction on OpenDAP requests like it does on netCDF Subset Service requests. Hopefully we can help them get things going soon.
