Mmmm, yes, you're defintely going to be seeing hitchiness there I
think. If there is a way to both preload the stuff you're animating,
*and* set it to unload 'last' (by default items unload when Director
thinks it's done with them, but this is not always optimal), you
might improve performace some. But rotating a 300K image with scaling
and ink effects is gonna lag even when you have *one* sprite doing
it, in some cases. :(
