Hi, Charles: I have implemented a slicer here, which performs much much better than that:
http://code.google.com/p/emcfab <http://code.google.com/p/emcfab>please feel free to steal code if it helps-- i have a couple of utility wraper classes for creating slices. Just looking briefly at your code, i'd guess that displaying your slices may be your culprit. display is very very very slow-- most of the time i cannot get things to run when i display lots of objects. But when i go in and display only a few things it is very fast.
