For those who looked at WingZ and wondered why it takes more than half an hour to create a reasonable looking graph with about 5000 data points, check out how WingZ connects two data points in a line graph: newpath 126.050003 191.5 moveto 126.150002 191.199997 lineto stroke 126.150002 191.199997 moveto 126.150002 191.199997 moveto newpath 126.150002 191.199997 moveto 126.199997 191 lineto stroke 126.199997 191 moveto 126.199997 191 moveto Even for someone who does not know PostScript, it should be fairly clear that there Informix felt like burning MIPS - for someone who knows the source code, it would probably take less than a few hours to fix this and thereby speeding up the graphics output by a factor of at least 3.
