NetCDF-4 AR-4 Performance Data With Horizonatal and Time Series Reversed

Russ, Dennis and I discussed some of the chunking results yesterday. We were concerned that the horizontal reads were causing all the data to be preloaded into cache for the subsequent time series read. So I swapped the order - now the time series read is done first.

Here's some results. The first line are the results for reading a classic netCDF file.

Again, there are many chunk size selections which beat the classic netCDF file performance.
