Some days ago you proposed the above workaround for slow initialization of
canvases. I have also found that this speeds up the process of drawing the
canvas the first time.
However, there is a drawback. I realized that the counter class uses this idle
delta to determine the repetition speed when you press one of the arrows. That
is, with idle delta=0 the counter reacts many times on one mouse-press (several
hundreds), and consequently the workaround may not be a good idea.
Is there another workaround or a workaround for this workaround?
Thomas
