For comparison, I tried some examples on Windows (XP, Rev Enterprise
4.0-dp-4, Internet Explorer 8) and got identical* results on the desktop
stack as with the revlet.
*OK, I got the range 727, 728 or 729 milliseconds consistently when choosing
90 points in the circle and 7 milliseconds on the delay slider.
