I remember reading something to the effect that vertical SplitViews are  
vertical-refresh timing dependent (to scroll smoothly relative to the  
scanning frequency of the monitor), so there may be intentional wait  
states to synchronize and ensure smooth retracing. Horizontal SplitViews,  
obviously, do not suffer this problem, since they track with the scanning  
beam.
