h5py threads stay flat (global lock); clawhdf5 hyperslab reads of deflate data scale to 1244 MB/s at 16 threads (9.7x h5py threads, 0.89x h5py processes). Two deficits recorded as open issues: full chunked reads stop scaling at ~4 threads (chunk cache suspected), and contiguous reads are 4x (full) to 8x (hyperslab) slower than h5py single-threaded.
