I understand that Sebastian.  The point I am raising is that when it 
finally is loaded and the axis image composed, it really should revert to a 
4 or 5 step lookahead, and be as snappy as it usually is.  It is not 
recovering.  You did note that the o100 call is skipped if the radius at 
zdepth is gt start_rad, as there is no use wasting time cutting air.

Thanks Sebastian.

Cheers, Gene
