You didn't have to start a new thread; you could just have replied to
the old thread that indeed you were using objects .
As you are using objects, then you need to discuss with the
administrators of the HPC site how to save the file on a drive that is
local to the CPU you are using rather than being on a networked file system.
There has been no information from Mathworks posted on this forum as to
_why_ the -v7.3 format can be as slow as it is, but there have been
enough reports from users that we know that this is a fact of life for
some kinds of data on some systems, at least up to 2010a. (People
haven't happened to discuss it for 2010b.)
