I don't notice a delay -- I notice small gaps in the trail of pixels
activated by the mouse rolling over them.  From the size of the gap I 
estimate it might be as long as a twentieth of a secind, but it's 
probably more like a hundredth.  I didn't use a stopwatch to time it.

And I do build a fair amount of data structure per pixel.  I'm probably 
going to have to change it -- but only once I've got some experience 
how the application actually works.  At the moment I've only ot a few 
bits and pieces.

That option @M3nogc -- do I put it on the command line when I execute?
