I hope everyone realizes I am using project and not effects here. I have yet to fix the effects code.

There is nothing to fix in the effects code. It generates one effect and then allows the users to pick how many of their effects they want into UserPatterns.xml. I have already suggested a person should not select more than 10. So users end up with 3oo mbyte UserPatterns.xml. The downside is that you need to pick each effect, you need to keep track of what are the next 10 effects .etc. Projects fixes trhis selection issue by putting all effects from a song into the output file.
In projects it takes all the effects in a song (30 to 35 in some songs) and builds one large UserPatterns.xml. This one large , > 1 gig file, is what you are fixing.
Now having LSP slow down while pasting, i dont know how to fix that.
Long term, we should not makde a UserPatterns.xml but a single msq file. No pasting needed, entire loads with a single command.
That will be next year ...
thanks
