# None of the browsers respect the GIF frame rates.
Each has their own way of doing it, alas. Try 0.02 seconds
for really flippy ones. Zero is often ignored and the browser
uses a default value. Often 10 or 15 frames per sec.

edit: Here it is at 0.02

Edit in mine and I'll edit this away. Or not, your call.

# 0.07
is the fastest framespeed that works for all of the currently most popular browsers, I think. I'm including IE6 in that list because it's still in fairly wide use.

# I assume you are speaking of Windows. On Mac OSX it is even stranger.
Firefox and Opera will do 0.02 but ignore fractions
on whole units 1.2 = 1.0 and so on. Safari does its
own thing and ignores anything under 0.1 on some
machines and video cards. We need a scorecard!

# Yeah I guess I have a web developer's approach to that one...
I try to make sure it works ok on the 'worst' setup. Everything after that is a bonus. In practice that means I make 0.03 the minimum frame delay, which usually degrades passably well when taken up to 0.07.
