   Well, for those aspiring demo-writers out there (including myself),
exactly how many cycles go by at whatever speed (1, 2.8, 9!) before the
computer goes on to the next one? I tried a short demo to see how fast I
could change them, and even though I was flipping them almost as fast as
possible under regular programming conditions, the border colors only
seemed to change on (6 mm) limits. Does my code need to be still faster,
or what?
