Yeah, that was the auto-calibration trick one can use if you ain't got anything
better going. If you do got anything better (a premade calibration) then you
are in a diffrent league.

SO? I did not expect a fully-fledged graphical tool or anything, besides, that
was not even the code I was interested in. My interest lay in seeing what
algorithms you had going, just have a peek really, out of curiosity.

BTW. CPU cycles is there to use, a second of idle time on your machine is just
a whole bunch of wasted cycles. ;) As I write this my machine has many, many
million wasted cycles per second and I still think I am doing something usefull
with my machine... what a illusion!
