Thank you very much for that! Yes, the real problem with the slow
plotting of Blue Marble very probably concerns the amount of available
memory and not the processor speed. I will try it ASAP. I suppose this
modification is also available only via SVN? Is there a time schedule
for releasing a new distribution version incorporating this recent
changes? I need a setup package that can be downloaded and installed
by computer-unsophisticated Windows users :-(

More soon...

With best wishes,
