Revolution is very slow to refresh fields. How can I speed it up?

Maybe this is just a morning when I can't get it.

But unless your handler is hard-coded to the specific loop or makes a 
runtime decision on whether to update every 50 steps, every 100 steps, 
or some number in between, I see no way the position of the progress 
bar can accurately reflect the percentage of task completion in all 
circumstances.

What I posted was generalized logic that calculates the number of steps 
required to move the progress bar one pixel, regardless of the width of 
the bar.  That is the minimum steps required before resetting the 
thumbPosition is visually manifested on the screen.  Anything more 
produces "jerkier" movements.
