Hello,
I did it. It works better in Rev 1.1 then it does in 1.0. It is just
that your computer that you are using... Sucks! I am running 1.6 GHz with
256 Megs of DDR Ram. Everything that I render goes about... Ten times as
fast. I have to make it go slower. Anyways, I got 1005 milliseconds in Rev
1.1, and I got 26 milliseconds in Rev 1.0. So, I do believe that it might
need to be fixed. But, In Rev 1.0, it was stupid, it was suppose to go slow,
and it went to freaking fast I didn't see it. And, I didn't see any "leading
edge of the effect paints very unevenly and jerkily" in that.

P.S. No wonder it is going slow, your running a Mac! There is your problem.
