We are moving this back up to the top of the Support Board. We have done some testing and as expected, there is no difference in calculation time between 8 byte doubles and 4 byte floats. However, when there is a larger amount of memory allocated for a chart due to a large number of chart bars, there is an increase in calculation time due to more memory being accessed. So using doubles will in some cases cause longer calculation times due to memory access. Using doubles is much more accurate with calculations.
