[Carpet] inefficient recovery from a checkpoint

Hi Erik,
while debugging a BBH run recovery problem (the run always aborted due
to excessive memory allocation) I discovered that during recovery each
processor would iterate through _all_ the checkpoint files to read data
from, even though the run was restarted on the same number of
processors. Did something change in the way Carpet (the experimental
version) sets up the grid structure ? The parameter file I used has
Carpet::regrid_during_recovery = no
IOHDF5::use_grid_structure_from_checkpoint = yes
in it. What's the first parameter setting good for ?
