Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

a conservative estimate of the speedup of the new library 
(old time/new time) is 1.7, on an RS6000 model 340H, running AIX 4.1.
this is for large data transfers (~10**5 floats), within a real application.
(the uncertainty comes from estimating the percentage of the task doing I/O.)

good job!

no problems porting; i will test on other platforms when i can.
