I have a performance problem while reading the attributes from an hdf file..
it seems it takes almost 1.5 minutes to read attributes(10 each) from about
18000 groups/datasets .. hoping somebody can tell me if this is a reasonable
time indeed for such a structure...
the hdf file has some 300 groups under root 
each of these 300 groups(T) have about 60 subgroups(V) and each of these 60
subgroups have 1 or 2 datasets(D)


Root 
 ----- T1 
       ----- V1
             ----- D

       -----  V60
             ---- D

....
....
....
-----  T300
             
at each level I am reading max 10 tiny attributes.. 

does reading each group mean mostly a new disk seek? any suggestions for
improving performance ?
