== Tracking down performance bottlenecks in PYDAP-powered ZPTs ==
Like [http://whewell.marine.unc.edu:9080/Plone/platformPage this example] 


=== Issue: this page takes 5~7 seconds to load initially and then ~4 seconds thereafter ===

I added code to the ZPT to print out some load times (via time.time() differncing).  The last line of the ZT as it now renders is this output.  Elements are:
||DAP open||AP loop||AT loop||DT loop||RH loop||RD loop||Loop total||Script total||
||1.13s (dap open) || 0.54s (loop) || 0.53s (loop)|| 0.53s (loop) || 0.54s (loop) || 0.52s (loop) || 2.66s (loop total) ||  3.79s (total)||
