Short intervals <1 sec., usually) in which the apparent motion
appears to stop, only to pick up again where it should have been.

Or, in the case of the "burning bush" screen saver (from xlockmore), a
chunk of the "sand" texture (but magnified about 4x) is suddenly up in
the sky and flying toward the viewer; it was almost an experience worthy
of Douglas Adams[RIP].

I may try the EXAVSync after I finish building today's head -- and
re-building firefox....

Thanks.

Peace,
