Description

Currently boost has to be disabled on video sync which causes a lot of lag. The reason that it is disabled is that the getPointIndex functions looks for an exact match to the point. Boost removes points meaning that you aren't guaranteed to find an exact match. It may be possible to fix this issue by looking for the closest point in the list. A problem that I think might be an issue is that if the point isn't in the subset of points shown, we don't want it to show. This means that you need to distinguish in some way between it being close enough to show vs too far away that it is a fully separate

Research direction

Start by tracing the getPointIndex functions and the code paths for Boost and video sync. Determine how to distinguish a sufficiently close point from one outside the displayed subset, then verify that video sync works with Boost enabled without showing unrelated points.
