[Lance Corrimal]

related line of thought:


how much faster could the viewer be if every single of these "do not 
change this ever" settings was replaced with a #define in a central 
include file?
or in other words, what is the cpu cycle penalty for a 
SavedSettings.getBOOL() and the others?


bye,
LC
