Anthony:

No thanks, think there is a bug, and so I was offering up code and files for 
testing.  The files are an order of magnitude larger than I thought.  The base
netCDF4 files, compressed, are 1.4 GB.  I dont have time to pare down the files 
and see if that is the problem - my guess is, since I have played with this 
conversion before on smaller files is that it does not.

I am uploading 2 files and the code to dropbox (I have a big space up there) if 
anyone wants to try this on their machine.  Let me know and I will send a link 
to the files, but keep in mind the tar file is ~ 3 GB.  The code only take

I can work around this by simply "hand" processing the files one by one.  But 
something is weird here, so I feel there is a bug to squash.  Since the files
are so large, perhaps that is the issue.  The write times for the first file 
are 3x faster than the second, because (obviously) 3x more data is being 
written.  But the processing on my Mac pro only takes about 45 sec for the 
first file, and 2 min for the second, if that much.

Thanks for any consideration!
