Spreadsheet Causes Theme to Lag & Get Worse Over Time

Posts: 100
Hi guys - I think I've tracked down a source of lag for a bunch of my themes. I do point standings with a spreadsheet, that I update before each race manually. I take the columns and bind those to labels on a widget, so it will read off the point standings in a ticker.

I also use a similar method to do drivers in a chase/playoff event, with a colored number or name. In both cases, they cause the theme to lag after a couple minutes, sometimes to the point of grinding to a halt entirely. Is there any reason why this would be the case? Perhaps it's reading from the spreadsheet too many times (it only needs to check once). Using a script would be unnecessary I feel - perhaps for non-dynamic spreadsheets, just load it into memory once at theme startup and then leave it alone from there on out?

Thanks, I will take another look at this. I don't see anything immediately wrong, looks like everything is loaded only once and cached properly.
