Just found this gpxsimplify tool (https://github.com/tkrajina/gpx-cmd-tools) that can reduce the number of points of a recording done with "1Sec" to the same number of points of the "Auto" settings allowing only a maximum error of 30cm. It uses the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm
