Description

I'm trying out MIDIKit for the first time, and noticed that parse/load times for very large SMF files seems to be longer than I'd expect. The file I'm loading is 820KB, with 17 MIDI chunks (2097 measures). A test program that consists solely of MIDIFile(midiFile: path) takes about 3.2 seconds to complete in a release build. (Small files are fairly quick to load.)

I recognize that this MIDI is... long... by most standards, so I understand you might not have optimized around it.

This is a known issue. No timeline yet for optimizing the MIDI file module but it's on the to-do list before version 1.0.0.

Aha! Good to know, thank you!
