[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2.0b65 released

[Richard Hendrix]

Submit a "formal" enhancement request. Done.

No difference when I turn off Zonealarm. 

Have 100 objects in current plan opening. Tried smaller number of
objects in plan and more objects and load time is the roughly same.
Cursor turns to hour glass.

Earlier versions, back about 3 or so, painted much, much faster for me.

I don't see that here (on XP or 7). There must be something else  
inhibiting performance. In fact I ran 2.0b65 on Win 7 this morning and  
was quite impressed by it's startup time (1-2 secs).

How many objects in the plan that's opening?

I don't have any virus/security software running. That's often the  
cause. Perhaps you can temporarily disable it and see if that improves  
matters.

I'll try not to disappoint you then :^)
