This Click 'n' Drag mode will give you the clearest possible reason why spur reduction is much more than spur reduction. Turn it off and click_n_drag and then turn spur reduction back on. Amazing. Thanks to a former traveling companion to Frank and I (Joe Romanowski) for suggesting this. He wanted a slider but this is neater.
We made major strides on CW and VAC latency. This is primarily due to Eric's persistent questioning and patient insistence on explanation for why things were done after testing showed they were a contributing factor to the latency. In the end, we figured out that we had done stuff that was a band-aid to a condition we had long since repaired but had failed to remove the detritus left behind. The response of the radio to keyer closures at 98000 samples per second and 512 sample audio buffers (make sure your DMA is not more than 512) is just plain awesome. We also almost completely defeated the "semi breakin crowding" that happens when you let the semi break in drop back to receive and then hit the key. I cannot make that problem occur here at all. Frank's wonderful keyer heart is now showing its true colors at last. In both the CW and VAC cases, I was putting in completely unnecessary stuffing that addressed a nonexistent need. In three days work we removed almost 100 msec of latency in the worst case and reduced the best case to almost half!
