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.

Re: [netcdfgroup] NetCDF4 format and SZIP

What looks attractive is FASTER compression: <http://www.hdfgroup.org/doc_resource/SZIP/ > 3 to 4 times faster compress time than gzip (so shorter write times), albeit on a Pentium II 300 Mhz (any more modern comparisons out there?). About same for decompression. I haven't used it myself yet, since it's not supported yet in netcdf4.....

Fans of szip say it gives better compression.
