Chris,

Another case of weak documentation, (setMinimumFrameCycleTime) "will
ensure that the time between the start of each successive frame is at
LEAST the specified number of milliseconds" ie this will introduce a
"delay" between displaying frames.  Perhaps useful if you are trying to
make a slide show and want each frame to remain on screen for at least
one second (or whatever set time you wish). But for developers trying to
get the fastest frame rate possible it seems to be worthless.
