Every re-rendering took so much time! 1. It seems like the program is doing too much 'behind the scenes,' like it should use scale and the window size to re-render what the user can see, and not worry about what's off-screen, at least until a change of window coordinates (pan) or change of scale (zoom) is made. 2. I'm willing to upload the dataset I've been using (although the data owners don't really want the databases showing up all over the net), but given the size, I can hardly e-mail them. Until the program can handle larger datasets, its going to remain a toy and a nice idea, but not a viable alternative to ArcGIS.",defect,closed,major: does not work as expected,Version 1.6.0,Build/Install,1.4.0,duplicate,"'large dataset', speed",,No,Windows,,0
