This answers your wait-state problem, but in a different way than you had asked it be answered: rather than changing cards at a specificly timed interval, can you let the user decide? (That is, something like 
    wait until the mouse is down
then go to whatever card.) Unless you're trying to increase somebody's reading speed, it's not a good idea (from a human interface point of view) to control how long somebody has to read something: fast readers get bored waiting, and slow readers get frustrated because the card's gone before they're through.
