I wonder what the problem might be Sam, sorry to contradict you but right
now as I type this - the iTunes visualizer is running between 16 and 24fps.
Sure I can make it run slower - launching Photoshop and InDesign will take
care of that - but no problems hitting and maintaining 20fps for moi. Maybe
the coding in iTunes 4 has sped things up a bit?

Always used to piss me off when when I had problems and people would say
"that doesn't happen for me" - but in this case, I gotta say it  8-)

Besides, I rarely run the iTunes visualizer.. There are so many better ones
out there.
