MATLAB: How to have the version 7.3 MAT-File load faster

MATLAB

I'd like my MAT-File to load faster. I don't care about size or the time it takes for the file to save. Since the variable I am saving to it is over 2 GB, I need to use a version 7.3 MAT-File. How can I save the MAT-File in such a way where it loads faster?

Best Answer

When saving the MAT-File, use the '-nocompression' flag. Depending on the format of your data, this could give you a speed-up in load times.

I figured it out...Visual Studio was finding another install of HDF5 in my path and was linking to this one rather than the one used by Mathworks in the matlab bin directory in the path.
