Any thoughts on speed limitations of Revlet?

I tested your stack Jim. It was very interesting as it worked at full
speed when running in the browser but from the files on my desktop.
When I uploaded the revlet & it's html file to my web server
<http://troz.on-rev.com/rainbow/test.html>, it ran as described.
Interestingly, the "Draw bunches" script runs fine, it seems to be
dragging the torch around that causes the delay.

This may be an optimization thing that will be improved as the plugin
develops, or it may be that mouseMoves need to be handled differently.

Cheers,
Sarah
