QTable is really slow for view vectors dialog - need to make something faster (consider separate table update rate - 1Hz?)

This problem was originally put in the RELEASE_PLAN file and so was unattributed.
Comment 2 Andrew Walker 2004-09-03 19:55:20 UTC 
I see no problems with the use of QTable, which appears to be updating rapidly. This is really beside the point though, as the view vector values dialog was not intended to be used on rapidly changing data, where it is essentially useless anyway as the values will be changing too quickly to be viewed. This is what the plotting functionality of Kst is for.

If the user wishes to do this then they should be aware of the consequences, in the same way as they should be aware of the cost of plotting points instead of lines, plotting error bars, etc.

Not a problem if used in the manner intended. Even if not used in the manner intended things will just be slow(ish).
