[Loadstone] Show area and checkpoints only

[Ari Moisio]

Hi Shawn


   How many points will fit for example 500 kB of RAM?

  How long processing delays we are talking about? It will also take time 
to manually search points and checking them one by one.

  Why does points stored in RAM need more computation than points stored in 
database?  Because points in ram are a subset of points in the database 
one would expect they are faster to handle.
