True, but typical values are more like 10-30, which are also the kind of
values that John was talking about for practical use.  This causes a
frame limitation of 30-100 fps, and morphs are inactive only between
"frames"; but you probably *want* them to be deactive at those times so
as to save CPU.

I guess there could be benefit from having a higher framerate within
Morphic, and then limitting the frequency that actual frames get posted.

But I still think the real solution is to implement a proper display
server in Squeak; then bandwidth should go down tremendously for most
purposes (3D explicitly excluded :|), and a T1 should be plenty fast to
run morphic at 60 fps.  (And a modem might never be fast enough to run
Squeak reasonably, under any level of effort, though I'd love to be
proven wrong)
