Are your z values the same for each x-y-t slice? Would this help? Author/source info are in the header below.


;=========================================================== ====================

; ROUTINE: findex
;
; PURPOSE: Compute "floating point index" into a table using binary
; search. The resulting output may be used with INTERPOLATE.
;
; USEAGE: result = findex(u,v)
;
; INPUT:
; u a monitically increasing or decreasing 1-D grid
; v a scalor, or array of values
;
; OUTPUT:
; result Floating point index. Integer part of RESULT(i) gives
; the index into to U such that V(i) is between
; U(RESULT(i)) and U(RESULT(i)+1). The fractional part
; is the weighting factor
;
; V(i)-U(RESULT(i))
; ---------------------
; U(RESULT(i)+1)-U(RESULT(i))
;
;
; DISCUSSION:
; This routine is used to expedite one dimensional
; interpolation on irregular 1-d grids. Using this routine
; with INTERPOLATE is much faster then IDL's INTERPOL
; procedure because it uses a binary instead of linear
; search algorithm. The speedup is even more dramatic when
; the same independent variable (V) and grid (U) are used
; for several dependent variable interpolations.
;
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;; In this example I found the FINDEX + INTERPOLATE combination
;; to be about 60 times faster then INTERPOL.
;
; u=randomu(iseed,200000) & u=u(sort(u))
; v=randomu(iseed,10) & v=v(sort(v))
; y=randomu(iseed,200000) & y=y(sort(y))
;
; t=systime(1) & y1=interpolate(y,findex(u,v)) & print,systime(1)-t
; t=systime(1) & y2=interpol(y,u,v) & print,systime(1)-t
; print,f='(3(a,10f7.4/))','findex: ',y1,'interpol: ',y2,'diff: ',y1-y2
