Curve Fitting Not Always Applied

First of all thanks for Qwt. It has proved to be a very useful library for my Qt work.

I am currently having an intermittent problem with the QwtSplineCurveFitter class.
Sometimes the curve fitting does not seem to occur?

See attached example image. I have also attached my plot class constructor and my update plot slot.
The connected signal call is as follows:

@void BytesProcessed(int size, double * xArray, double * yArray, double yMax, int BtNo, bool bResetScale);

emit BytesProcessed( ( scDPPtr->dQVPressure.data()[scDPPtr->GetCount()-1].size()-1),
scDPPtr->dQVTime.data(),
scDPPtr->dQVPressure.data()[scDPPtr->GetCount()-1].data(),
scDPPtr->dPeakRawPressure.data()[scDPPtr->GetBreathCount()-1],
scDPPtr->GetBreathCount()-1,bNew);@

The arrays used in the signal are referenced from the following QVectors:

@QVector < QVector <double> > dQVPressure;
QVector <double> dQVTime;
QVector <double> dPeakRawPressure;@

My plots seem to perform fairly well in almost real time but if you have any advice on optimising my code it would be appreciated greatly.

Is there a limit to the number of splines or spline points that can be created? I am plotting up to 4 plots of 50 curves that are each curve fitted.

Is my Spline Size a problem? It seems to give better results than lower settings but does begin to inhibit performance with larger numbers of plots e.g. 4 X 20+ curves.
