Hi Wilfried,

When you run the map there is a "hidden" process "MapPoint.exe", check the taskmanager, so there is some kind of interprocess comunication. And I fear that this happen at every instruction call. It's relatively fast, in other similar situations i realized a delay of some milliseconds for every instructions due to the necessary context switch between the two processes. I still not tried to add something like 10000 items but I fear that the process will be very slow.
