How long is long?

[RichardScottOZ]

e.g.

C:\Users\rscott\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\pangeo3\lib\site-packages\xmovie\core.py:46: UserWarning: No `vmin` provided. Data limits are calculated from input. Depending on the input this can take long. Pass `vmin` to avoid this step
  warnings.warn(
C:\Users\rscott\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\pangeo3\lib\site-packages\xmovie\core.py:53: UserWarning: No `vmax` provided. Data limits are calculated from input. Depending on the input this can take long. Pass `vmax` to avoid this step
  warnings.warn(

Your 150 frame default example - how long would you expect that to take when not parallel, parallel, no vmin/vmax etc.?

I think it had run for 10 minutes before I killed it?

If nothing is going wrong (which I suspect might actually be the case here) this should just do a .min().load()/.max().load(). Could you try that in your environment, and see if that also takes really long?

Also sorry for the long delay in my answer. Just getting back on top of my gh inbox!
