SCIDA load times in TNG Cluster

I wanted to reach out with a couple of questions about best practices for working with TNG cluster data via SCIDA. I’m working in a JupyterLab environment with access to TNG and can load simulations, snapshots, and clusters; however, the read times are proving challenging.

For example, when I load a single cluster at z=0, the SCIDA group load often takes close to 10 minutes. I’ve seen some discussion on GitHub about caching times (which I assume is related), but I wanted to check in directly to learn how you typically handle this in your own workflows. My goal is to be able to iterate over clusters in the simulation in a reasonably efficient manner, but at present this step is a significant bottleneck.

Thank you for any advice or pointers you can share!
