Ok, got to play with this today. The altitude bug isn't totally fixed. Apparantly I was at 4 billion feet altitude at some point. I know I live on a hill, but it's not that high

Suggestion. Can you stat the routes directory immediately upon startup, before even being selected in hijack? We know that at startup the disk is spun up, and this would eliminate the display delay that occurs when trying to select a route when the disks are spun down. And if you leave the current stat in place where it is (but discard the results) then that will spin the disks up as soon as we start to look through our route list, hence keeping load times much the same as they are now.
