I just built HDF/netCDF (the mfhdf directory in HDF3.3r3) and
ran NCTEST on my DEC Alpha OSF box. NCTEST completed
successfully, but took over 3 minutes, while NCTEST from the
standard Unidata Netcdf (v 2.3.2) took only 2 seconds!!
When I did "ps" during the lengthy NCTEST run with HDF/netCDF,
it reveals that NCTEST is spending nearly all of it's time as
a uninterruptible sleeping process.
Is this normal behavior for NCTEST with HDF/netCDF? Has someone
run NCTEST with HDF/netCDF and obtained decent results?
Thanks,
