I think I put a finger on what breaks the performance, thx to your snippet of code. I forgot to mention that I'm using some axvlines here and there (500 per subplot). it goes from slow to _unacceptably_ slow with the axvlines. I'm using the axvlines to mark some events that I need to know about in order to have an explanation of the variations of the curves. any advice on what to use to replace those? ---- This message contains confidential information and may contain information that is legally privileged.
