That has nothing to do with calculating. It depends on the datarate and
experiments yield
1MB is approx. 1  second
4MB is approx. 10 seconds
8MB is approx. 60 seconds

PS: I fixed my 1.0.4 by introdrucing a seperate REPLAYBUFSIZE with a small
size. This not only saves RAM but also eliminates the premature ending of a
replay.
