I don't think it's IO or the trimming. Mothur seems to take forever to do the sffinfo process on windows.
Getting the 3 million sequences out was 3 hours.
The trimming took 10 minutes.
The rest of the python code to fish out my sequences 1 minute.
You see now , why I would like to make it more efficient.
