Thanks for your reply! I agree that under normal circumstances,
downsampling would be a good thing to do. However, in this case, it's
really about the tiny details in the trace, so I'd like to zoom in on
a small part of the data, and then scroll through it. This is already
possible with Matplotlib, but is very slow...

Best regards,
