Lest people think I'm lazy (or lazier than I am), I did that before I
posted. I spent over an hour poking around in the code, changing the sleep
time in various places that seemed appropriate.
Given, however, that I am totally unfamiliar with Powerplant, and this is my
first excursion into POSEr source, I was unable to figure out the right
place to do anything. Which is why I posted.
I _know_ Keith is wonderful (everyone does, or should), but I merely
requested that a feature be added to the list, to be added or not as he sees
fit.
Now, Keith says:

The code for Delay is
Microseconds (&start);
do {
Microseconds (&end);
} while (end.lo < (start.lo + 8800));
Now that's gotta chew the CPU! :-)
Armed with this information, I'll look into this some more and see if I can
come up with something.
Thanks!
