I took the example that ships with 1.3.0 and have modified it to use a grid
layout and show 9 graphs in a 3x3 grid.
When I do this it, other widgets become rather unresponsive.
Is there a way to fix this?
Somehow offload whatever is hogging CPU onto another thread or something?
Below is the code....
Thanks,
