Greetings and thanks for a great editor!
Just noticed that uploading full contact list makes the host computer CPU run *very* hot..any code issues on the upload part?

I haven't noticed it but I do have a watercooled 6 core CPU and 32GB RAM, although it is about 12 years old.
The issue is likely the CPU/RAM resources it uses to load in the ~200k contacts into the editor and then calling the python script to upload them which would increase the CPU usage, depending on the CPU may even cause it to get to 100% load.
I'm not sure exactly how the CPS does this as it is a little slower so maybe doesn't hit the CPU as hard.
You could likely use the python script alone to upload ham contacts from the csv file, to save resources by loading them into the editor first. Although I don't think that will make too much difference in terms of CPU load as it still loads the entire csv file and uploads them in 2048 byte chunks (pages).
