Hi Stacy,

I had a look at your data and indeed found it to be excessively slow. It turns out my previous fix introduced a bug in the hash table code that shows up for large numbers of channels and timeslots.
I've now fixed that and found that mfcal completed in 20s instead of 25m.

Apologies for the delay,

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Just saw this. I ran mirsync and indeed mfcal is much faster. Thanks for the fix.

Cheers
Stacy.

Hi Stacy,

and it was a good thing you waited this long - my first fix introduced a new bug which I only just found and fixed this week.

Cheers,

Mark
