I assumed you wanted it to appear to "draw," rather than simply  
appear. If you want it to go as fast as possible, change the  
statement to this:

wait 0 milliseconds with messages

It will still work the way you intend, and draw much, much faster. So  
fast that you might consider simply holding off and setting the  
points only at the end, because it will be near instantaneous.
