One question. For the baseline test are
we going to crate a single giant geotiff or have people
use a mosaic of those 14 files?

The mosaic of 14 files is going to be around 113.4GB,
but if we create a single seamless file I believe the
size will be equivalent to 16 files instead, since
we have no compression, which is  129.6GB.

Frank, others, what do we do? Single giant file or
mosaic?
