The timings do not include the cost of writing to the screen. To see if
lowering this value is slowing you down you will have to use a stopwatch
rather than relying on the value printed on the screen.
BTW, the default was set at 100 because the first version of the
program was in Windows 3.1 and the overhead was significant.
