will multiprocessing help?

[Pauld-1]

I'm very impressed with my display which I built over the weekend, thanks to everyone who has contributed. Setting it up in Balena was fairly simple.

I unfortunately have very little experience with Python but was wondering if multiprocessing could help smooth the scrolling of "calling at:" if the clock and destination displays were in separate processes? The clock display could then also persist with only the destination display being refreshed for each update? I was also thinking about only updating information which has changed and a full display refresh when the destination stations change?

I've made some more improvements to help with this. As far as I can see I'm not sure if separate processes would be possible with this library and display, but I do think it's much better now than it was. Feel free to reopen if you're still thinking it could be better!
