Hi Michael I'm actually testing this right now as Fusionio just gave us a bunch of them. Early tests reveal that with dpx it's awesome but with openexr zip compressed file it it is spending more time with compression, not sure if it is cpu bound or what(needs more study but its slower). Openexr uncompressed files though are considerably superfast but of course the issue is that it is 18 meg a frame. These are single layer rgba exr files.
