  Think of a typical Game loop that adjusts its calculation based

would introduce unwanted jumps in that game loop just because some
morph somewhere flashed. 

I agree that a #flash like a #beep should be always noticeable[1]
but I think a Delay for: whatevernumber is the wrong way.

I just tested Bobs fix and then did the following:
Open a browser, focus the Protocol pane, start typing like crazy
(say 50 character in very short time). The effect was that my UI
was blocked for more than thee (3) seconds. This should really
not happen.

Interestingly, repeatedly flashing a UserDialogBoxMorph does
_not_ block the UI _although_ it is implemented using two
delays; you can drag the box around while it is flashing. 
I think this is due to the modality implementation using 
the doOneSubCycle (which I frankly do not yet understand)
