That is a relief.

That's because the moveTo commands are being queued every 100 ms, each with a 100 ms time-frame, and they are queued, so the following applet can get behind. I've added a ! ahead of the moveto command. What this does is replace any pending moveTo with a new one. I think that's the proper behavior, anyway. In this way you shouldn't be able to get more than 100 ms behind at any time. -- Robert M.
