I built your image moving stack and uploaded it to <http://troz.on-rev.com/rainbow/move.html>. It seems to work at full speed, so it isn't the mouseMove itself, but the amount of processing that has to happen on every mouseMove. I tried several options: locking the screen, only drawing the lines if the torch has moved more than a certain number of pixels, limiting the number of redraws per second, flushing events. I even tried replacing the torch image with a button in case redrawing the image was too much. I think I made it a bit better, but it's still not great, but you can try it again at the same address. As regards the odd URL, in the standalone settings, I recommend entering a name for the revlet with no spaces or other odd characters. When you build the revlet, you get 2 files: the revlet file and a test.html file. Rename the test.html file if you want and then upload them both into the same folder of your on-rev site. Then the web address will be: http://yourname.on-rev.com/foldername/test.html (filling in the blanks as appropriate).
