Scratch

Bet you're suprised to see an ST member asking questions, eh? Well, I'll be the first to admit I don't know it all. 

So I made a project with some words that I wanted to have change their size based on the loudness of the music I was playing. But I didn't want to trust that people's mics would all be calibrated the same, or that their speakers would even be on while the project played. So I loaded up a list (in turbo mode, with the list display off) with loudness levels from my mic while I played the song through my speakers. I wanted to get as many samples as possible, to get a high-resolution of values to use to change the text size during playback. In turbo mode, I ended up with a list about 50,000 entries long for a song that's 135 seconds long.

However, it takes my Scratch (linux version, although I might've hacked it up a bit a while ago) several minutes to load the project. When I try to upload it, the upload dialog sticks and doesn't really make progress. The file size is only 6.9 megs.

Do other's have a similar experience with super long lists? I'm trying to figure out if the problem is just on my system, or if Scratch 1.4 has trouble with super long lists in all versions.
