- I believe the problem is because Frame comes up in 2 bit B&W mode and there
- is some misalignment between that image and the default colour frame that
- accounts for the extra delay. There was a posting about this a while back.
-
- The work around is to put a colour element into the Frame document and
- magically everything is aligned and the performance is just about right.
- I do this all the time.
