How slow is CSI when it's slow, and have you tried to figure out why? More 
importantly, is it so slow that it impacts your processing unacceptably?

CSI is a better approach than reading the output of LISTC, in my opinion, as 
the LISTC output is not a programming interface.

But whatever you do, you may have a TOCTTOU (time of check to time of use) 
issue. By the time you figure out what the oldest GDG member is, and go to read 
it, it may no longer exist. So don't forget to put in some error checking for 
that case.
