Re: [ROOT] slow reading files

Hi Haitao,

I uncovered a ROOT bug in 2.25.03 when TChain::Process processes a user
defined TSelector  (see
http://root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk00/2583.html).  One of the
symptoms of the bug was that TFile I/O slowed to a crawl.  You didn't give
enough details in your email to really understand what was causing your
problem.  If you are you using TChains and TSelectors, then you may have run
into the same problem that I did.

Regards, Matt
