Russ mentioned that current netcdf efficiency could be improved: >...

The VMS port has specific information on how this port could be speeded up (by going to a lower level io via qio's). The analogy for unix, I presume, would be to write ones own level of read/write calls directly. Obviously I don't expect this to be done for all platforms, just the ones we run on :-)
