Right. I tried to explain that as the reason for the cut off. (Obviously, I need to work on my explanation a bit.) One of the things for later testing would be to perform multiple 'updates' in each interval to try for higher quality results. I get a small measure of that by the variability introduced by the three different tests. So, I obviously need to add clarity in my explanation of what I'm expecting to get from this test. > (There has been discussion on introducing a high resolution timer API > in browsers recently, but nothing has been specced yet.) Thank you very much for your input. G. Wade -- The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay. -- C.A.R.
