You mentioned saving processing time. if you're doing this more than once on a given timeseries you could use a custom field data array to store the min and max for each array that you care about. If these field data arrays aren't present, then you'd compute them and rewrite the first datafile

KuN, Normally as datasets get larger you'd want to use multiple nodes each with multiple cores. 7GB unstructured data is maybe big for one node. I think a 64GB node should be able to handle it, although you're in territory where you may want more nodes depending on what you're doing in PV.
