They blow away the Gurus and Swamais over at #203.

With Acrobat and Foxit, it is extremely difficult to see movement
because it is so fast (guess at 30-100mSec region); one must knw where
to look and constantly switch display size to find / see it.
GhostScript takes more time, roughly in the 500mSec region - and it
is far easier to switch sizes and place cursor in the center of action.

Using our animation technique, you can slow the animation speed anyway
you like. But the result would be machine speed specific.

The JavaScript over Acrobat speed variable is called global.stall

Um, #415 became involved in that untoward incident that involved
Godzilla, the Night Nurses, and an enormous bowl of tapioca pudding.
