Preview shows estimated time to be finished, when reality its almost twice the time

Preview shows estimated time to be finished, when reality its almost twice the time. What am I doing wrong?

Boss 2436 laser
LightBurn V0.8.07
Windows 10

We increased travel speed to speed it up is that has been changed.

Using “time est” in the search on this forum returned the following:

Total time estimated issue

Hi all, I don´t know if i´m using wrong the total time estimated in preview function, but the real time of laser engraving is a lot more than the estimated one. Here is an example, were the estimated time is 60m but with 50m elapsed time the project only has 16%. [tiempo] Please help!

whoops/// I know better. I should of searched it. You can delete.

Just an idea: Would it be possible to have Lightburn adaptively learn a “correction factor” for each device by comparing estimated time with actual time, and then have some kind of sliding average to smooth it out?

Perhaps it could be refined even more by factoring in how much is “work moves” and how much is just traversal moves…

In this case, there is a lot of red, which might lead me to believe that traversal moves are slower than the settings think.

I believe this is all squared away in the next release.
