As an addendum to the previous email. The first implementation which 
wrote particles out using vtk's XML format had
1000 (time steps)*16 (nodes) + 1000 (vtm 1 per time step) total files 
written = 17000

the later implementation using hdf5 had 1000 groups of datasets inside a 
single hdf5 file = 1

from a future file management point to view, you can see which is the 
easier to maintain.
