This explains what I was seeing, I'm sure. Charts can be the most CPU intensive, which makes sense because something like a scatterplot probably shows all the individual data points. Sounds like the the problem I speculated about might not exist or only for some modules (maybe >> If so, I imagine there are limits on what PSPP can do to display some >> SPO files? > SPO files are a separate question.

IIRC SPO format superceeded text output and added formatting; I'd be surprised if it wasn't some kind of rich text like RTF. If its some homebrewed format, it might be a lot of work to make it display properly. I suspect that if it was simple to display SPO files, there wouldn't be any issue with current versions of SPSS opening them. But that's just a pessimistic guess. -Alan -- Alan D.
