Well, the Bochs timer interrupt was scheduled only twice
a second, and there was in addition a counter hidden
somewhere that called the GUI event loop only once one
every ten timer ticks, so the GUI was obviously updated
extremely slow :-/
I've changed this to a more reasonable 100 timer ticks
per second, and everything looks much smoother now ...
Kevin, you're familiar with the Bochs stuff: is there
any reason why we should not call the timer tick that
often?
