The slow running you see is XInterAnimate loading the pixmap.
After loading, it seems to run at a high rate of speed.
The rate is set not on the *first* XInterAnimate call (as you are
doing) in which you are setting up the size of the window and
the number of frames, nor on the *second* XInterAnimate
call, in which you are loading the pixmaps, but on the
*third* XInteranimate call, where (my guess) you have
the animation set up to run at about half speed (rate=50).
Try setting the rate there and you will have more luck.
Cheers,
David
