Hi,
In my testing, I find that dcmdump is slightly faster than dicom_hinfo.

I ran 10,000 dicoms with:

dicom_hinfo -tag 0008,103e 00001.dcm
vs
dcmdump --print-short --search 0008,103e 00001.dcm

dicom_hinfo = 183 seconds
dcmdump = 145 seconds

But we should look into updating dicom_hinfo for the entire field and not just the first word.

thanks, Justin
