This is not possible in Maple V 1.1 for Windows, and we recognize
this as a shortcoming.  It will be fixed in Maple V Release 2 for
Windows.

Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the plotting.  The redrawing
could be avoided by using bitmaps of each plot, but this rapidly
eats up memory, and overall efficiency is severly compromised.  We recognize
that this is not ideal, and this is an issue that is being worked on 
for Maple V Release 2 for Windows.
