Each has to be rendered. Or when drawing a slider through them, they have to appear on the fly as the slider moves. I went from a noticeable fraction of a second per page to nearly instant. Early versions took about 20 seconds. OK, I could process 1 creditor per second on an SE/30 in the 90s, and we were happy it was that fast . . . but we could only print four pages/minute, so taking 5-10 to generate a page wasn't a problem . . . -- Dr. Richard E.
