That's wierd.  Did have the slider at real time, everything set- still
moves a bit jerky with that "shimmering" effect that you get when you
can see the screen redraw, even in full-screen fast mode.  That's part
of the reason I thought it was using WinG, which doesn't provide
double buffering which eliminates that.
