#304700: ISL Recording Player (Windows - All): optimization: save states/checkpoints while playing [New feature] More

Description
Optimize speed of loading playback state when jumping to different time positions with slider. State (checkpoint, restorepoint) consists of VNC-Desktop, Chat and Video stream. Default time interval of saving states is 3000 ms, and can be seen in menu "Settings->Advanced".

Because this states reserve a lot of resources (system RAM), compromises have to be made. Density function of checkpoints in a period of time is used and compared with "ideal" function. Ideal density of checkpoints is large if close to the current playback-time and becomes smaller if we look far from the current position. This is because of the nature of human watching of the recordings: Most of people move slider only a little far from the current time position. Saved states (checkpoints) are then deleted where needed, according to the density function mentioned above.
