After reading Tim Maroney's article on showing help fields using
lock/dissolve, I gave it a try and found that "dissolve fast"
was too fast for my tastes on the SE/30.

Are the visual effects speeds handled based on system speed, or
do they just basically work the same no matter what?

If the former, is the SE/30 broken?

If the latter, is this ever going to be fixed?  I hate the idea of
writing my stacks to say "if the CPU type is a 68000, dissolve fast,
otherwise dissolve".
