I am not sure this is the bug in Jan's morph. "setTime" is a minimum
time, according to the Morphic white paper(*), but Jan's morph runs
too fast.

A WatchMorph also has setTime = 1000, and its WatchMorph>>step is only
called once a second.

Nevertheless, Andreas's suggestion is better than debugging Jan's method.
