I was aware of this. It is on my radar to provide sane date and time
support, including date subtractions, additions, extractions,
creation, etc.

When the data frames get larger, there is a bit of a slow down. There
are two steps in my development process:
1. Make it work well.
2. Make it work fast.

I'm currently on step one :)

I'll consider making them bigger, but I think that missing data is
best represented as white space, with a little mark to let you know
that something could be there.
