This was (probably) a result of the addition of the use-sinc-interp
switch; I forgot to turn off some debugging stuff in one version
of Snd.

Yes (but it's got enough points that as far as I know
you never get a lower resolution view than you would
otherwise -- both are limited by the available pixels).
On the moving marker business, my experience was that
if the marker is updated too often, you get dropouts.

I don't disagree, but being the first, it's hard for me to
tell what will trip the second -- feedback from annoyed users
is very helpful! (But, as I guess is obvious, the GUI is
not my primary interest -- I still haven't finished the Gtk+
port -- I sit down saying "today I fix the damned thing", and
I wake up an hour later with an aching neck).
