Comment(by bernie):

 I suspect the XO-1 is not fast enough to compute the frames of this
 animation as fast as needed (default fps=20), so it spins without ever
 reaching the idle loop.

 Rather than establishing a-priori fps, we should let the animation fps
 degrade as the machine gets slower (or the task gets more complex). This
 could be easily achieved by setting a *fixed* delay after drawing each
 frame.
