Speed of 'sliding a field'

[Sarah Reichelt]

On a 333 Mhz G3 iMac, this script ran too fast for me to see what was 
supposed to happen - it just jumped into place with 1 or 2 intermediate 
steps. I put a "wait for 1 tick" line on the repeat loop and then it 
worked beautifully. Is there something else happening at the same time 
that could be slowing things down? What about any pending messages? Or 
is the field sliding over complex graphics that take a lot of redrawing?
