Yes, I have found this to be true in my experience, as well. The scipy backend also works more smoothly when using multiple threads with dask, because it releases the GIL.

I would be happy to accept a patch that adds this as the default behavior. We would need to detect netCDF3 vs netCDF4 files automatically when doing file reading by looking at the first few bytes from the file. See these docs for file format specs, which include the necessary details: https://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.format.html#Superblock http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/file_format_specifications.html
