This isn't the only condition in which the speed will reset itself.  I have a
polar plotting program that always (well, usually anyways) that seems to revert
to normal speed about halfway through its calculations. (It displays the angle
it's calculating on the screen as it goes, and about half-way along (About 180
degrees) it reverts to normal).
Never could figure this out, and the program has no features to explain the
phenomena.
