I observed that if I had a file open in RouteConverter and then opened the SAME file in RouteConverterPrerelease and, in the second file, asked that the program inject the speed into all 44,736 positions, the file scrolled from the beginning to the end as the speed was added to all of the positions rather quickly, with NOTHING visible on the left side of the screen due to the use of that same data using the jar in the regular RouteConverter. However when only ONE version of RouteConverter is open, and as a result the full display is visible on the left, the speeds are added far more slowly [instead of 4 or 5 minutes it takes MANY minutes, and the scoll in the right side down as the speeds are added does NOT work. I therefore have to assume that the java jar [javaw.exe and java.exe] and their grab of memory and cpu cycles when the map or a satellite view are displayed makes the big difference in the speed with which the speed is added to the file. Is there any way to add the speed quickly by telling the program NOT to display the map view until the speed has been added to all the records? I am working with a file that is over 14 megs in size before the speed is added, and over 15 megs in size after the speed is added, with 44,736 positions covering 142.6 km and 6h 26m 48s [and the AM showing after the time shown that follows Duration is not needed <grin> - that is a bug - duration is in hours, minutes, seconds without an AM or PM.]
What is the problem that causes the speed to be added so slowly when the map is displayed and very quickly when the map is not displayed?
[I've also observed that I cannot get any email while the program [javaw.exe] is hogging my link to the Internet, and that it is using over 300,000 Mb of RAM and running at almost the full capacity of one of the processors in my computer, with no sign that it is near completion of adding the speed to those records... and no way to tell the program that it cannot hog the resources this way.]
Added... The number of decimal places in the added Speed line in the resulting GPX file needs to be limited to 5 decimal places. There are a number of resulting records with a lot more places added that amount to nothing... 999999999999 or 00000000001 sort of extra digits beyond the first 5. Round to 5 digits behind the decimal place in ALL instances where something other than 0.0 is used and save me some file space as those extra digits of no value add nothing but waste space.
