I believe the problem is because Frame comes up in 2 bit B&W mode and there
is some misalignment between that image and the default colour frame that
accounts for the extra delay.  There was a posting about this a while back.

The work around is to put a colour element into the Frame document and
magically everything is aligned and the performance is just about right.
I do this all the time.
