[MITgcm-support] Optimization

[David Lewis]

Hello all,
I'm running a global circulation routine on mitgcm on 32 processor and am looking to see if I can speed up the runtime.  I had an IT person help and she sent me part of the profile (below).  Most of the time seems to go into the routine "config_summary", which appears to just be IO.  Is there any way I can reduce the number of times this routine is called?  Does this have anything to do with the generation of STDOUT files?  
Thanks for your help.
David
