Jim, one funny thing I noticed on the mac: if in your repeat loop you set the wait to 0 millisecs on the slider the time goes down from 1500 millisecs to 630 millisecs, you can replace the wait with a "unlock screen" and you have again around 630 millisecs. As soon as you wait even 1 millisecond you go up to 1500 again. So there is more going on on the Mac then meets the eye. By contrast I did not manage to speed up the send in time handler, maybe someone has an idea.
