Huge memory usage #15

akirmse commented 8 years ago

I'm seeing production crashes where the Location class is trying to allocate 320kb, presumably for either the latitude or the longitude. Is there a reason why unlimited precision is necessary? Wouldn't double be good enough?

I agree that double would be good enough. In general: The accuracy of astronomical calculations cannot be increased by choosing BigDecimal but by choosing another better astronomical algorithm.
