 Currently they include only those collected by Tom Goddard (focus on
 density maps, molecular assemblies, electron microscopy).

+<b>Molecule subdivision makes zooming clunky</b><br>
+November 22, 2010<br>
+Mike Carnegie<br>
+Zooming in on a large molecule model causes freezes for seconds while a finer
+mesh is computed for the molecule display.  These freezes greatly impair interactive
+viewing.  It would probably be better in these large molecule situations if a finer
+mesh was not created.  The improved zooming would be more valuable than the improved
+appearance for interactive analysis.  Chimera bug #8991.

+<b>Atom spec balloons impair motion</b><br>
+November 22, 2010<br>
+Mike Carnegie<br>
+Rotating and zooming large volume surfaces is very clunky (2 second pauses)
+because atom spec balloons take seconds to compute.  The atom spec balloon
+usually never appears so it is not clear what causes the long freezes.
+Would like some fix so that atom spec balloons do not impair performance
+rotating and zooming.  Atom spec balloons can be turned off in preferences
+but they are quite useful for PDB models so simply disabling them is not a
+good solution.  Chimera bug #8991.
