Has iRex lost their marbles? What were they thinking with the "Please wait" crap? Anytime you send a message to the screen processing slows down. On a normal PC screen I can programmatically read a file displaying each row on the screen and it will take five times the amount of time to process than not displaying on the screen. Now you take a screen that is slower than a PC to refresh and even a short message increases time.

Lets say for arguments sake turning a page took a number of minutes. Then I might appreciate the message. It is telling me the processor is working, not hung up and please be patient. When the delay is of little significance why, please why add a forced delay by sending a message to the screen. This is just plain stupid. Very stupid!
