There's now an issue on the netcdf-c issue tracker to implement fast strided access for HDF5 files (https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/908).,"{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,307318224 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2004#issuecomment-375054212,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2004,375054212,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM3NTA1NDIxMg==,579593,2018-03-21T18:44:14Z,2018-03-21T18:44:14Z,NONE,"netcdf4-python does `reopened[::1, ::10]` by making a bunch of calls to the C lib routine `nc_get_vara`. As pointed out in Unidata/netcdf4-python#680, this is faster than a single call to `nc_get_vars` (which does strided access, but is *very* slow). Note that `reopened[::1, ::1][:,::10]` is very fast, but you have to have enough memory to hold the entire array. I wonder how h5netcdf is reading the data - is it pulling the entire array into memory and then selecting or subset?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,307318224
