I was about to create some HDF5 for performance evaluation and since I 
am working in Python it seams that would be easier to use PyTables to 
write HDF5 files. I can take data from PyGDAL in numPy arrays and pass 
it to PyTables. But if the driver is slow, why botherPy? :(

- Do you have plans to release the optimized version of the driver?

- Do you have plans to develop the writing portion of the driver?
