So CarpetIOHDF5's 1d output would be expected to be faster than CarpetIOASCII's? Interesting, I had thought them both to be very similar as far as sending around data for proc0 to write was concerned. If that is the case then it is the actual IO routines in the thorns that behave so differently.
I was under the impression that CarpetIOASCII does not send any data around. Each process writes to the file, one after the other.
