Printed part speed should be determined by the individual part cross-sectional area, not the overall cross-sectional area of all printed parts.

* if I print one item that is small, each layer will be printed at say 20mm/s as the cross-sectional area is small.... however if I duplicate that part 5 times the software currently thinks that the part is larger (has a large cross-sectional area), so prints each layer at a higher speed!

This is very annoying as small parts need to always be printed slowly... and larger parts can be printed slightly faster... this speed should not be determined by the whole cross-sectional area but the cross-sectional area of each part individually and on an individual basis.

Please fix this. I like Simplify and have been a backer from early on, this still needs correcting.

Doesn't that only happen if you pring layer by layer?
In such a case it will print all objects as one layer which in effect means you print a larger area so print speed is faster.
If you set it to object by object it will finish one process after another it needs cooling time, so printing is longer.

Just wondering.
