I can't wait to get your optimization!  The latest version of MLCAD is much
faster than the previous one (since it tries not to redraw the entire
model), but this sounds fantastic!

MLCAD is the easiest to use, but on large models, it tends to be • rather
slow.

HE HE HE HEEEE ....

Not much longer .... :-) I found a fantastic way to make it faster ... • realy
... first test showed up the drawing time is between 17! - 50% of the
current version (1.99R1). I don't tell anybody how I've done it yet ...

But I hope you can tell later! Perhaps other programs can use the idea • too,
and get better!

Sure I will tell you - but before I have to complete this work ... • currently
I'm trying to eleminate a side effect of this optimization which increases
the initial loading time of the model sligtly. However I think the result • is
worth a efford.

Another example I can give to speak in numbers:

On my machine (Pentium II 350MHz, 128MB Ram) loading the SkyScraper model
from Brad Hamilton takes 18.747 seconds with MLCad V1.99R1 1280 * 1024
full-screen (all toolbars and other windows removed) (2.364 seconds • loading,
11.767 seconds drawing, ~3 seconds for displaying the part list of the
model)

With the version I'm currently working the same thing needs 6.509 seconds
(2.403 seconds loading, 1.662 seconds drawing - remaining time for • part-list
and overhead)
