Shouldn't be a problem unless you're running a 486 or less. I've had in the neighborhood of 40,000 stations on my screen from a full Firenet feed plus local RF plus weather alerts all going on and it didn't bog down. Every once in a while I run the code through a profiler to find out where the slow bits are, then optimize the code. That's done wonders for how efficient it is. > Another solution is to see what's involved in adding the code in > myself. Could be an interesting project. You bet! Let us know if you need any help understanding the code, or where to add things in. I'd be glad to look at any patches you come up with. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
