animated GIF plays too slowly

[Robert Oschler]

If you look at the spinning diamond animated GIF on this page:

http://audio.spiderchase.com/

you will see it spinning at about half the rate I want it to spin it. It
does spin at the right speed in ULead GIF animator before I export it.
What's weird is, when the page first loads, for about a 1/2 second it spins
at the right speed and motors down to the slower rate. It's as if Internet
Explorer can't keep up with it or something. There seems to a ceiling to
the frames per second I can get. I tried lowering the interframe delay to
less than 1/50 of a second which should be blazing, but it stays at the same
slower speed (except for the first 1/2 second as I said).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thx

Reduce the number of frames played. You are right, the browser/computer
cannot keep up to the play rate you are setting.
