You may find this off topic, since you seem to mean by "plot a current trace" something different than I'm familiar with. Suppose I have a 1280×1028 monitor and I'm willing to have really tiny 9-pixel points to represent an observation. Then I can display 1280×1028/9 distinct points, about half as many as you want, and cover the entire monitor. So perhaps your question is really about the appropriate way to radically down-sample your data?
