Certainly, I'm surprised I didn't actually tell you what the way was
before! :)

The information I'm giving may be of interest to other people on the
newsgroup/mailing list, but since this message is quite long and to
avoid excess load on the mailing list side of the group I've put it in
a (temporary) web text file:

http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mert0407/game_speed.txt

If someone wants it but can't use HTTP then please email me and I'll
send it directly to you.
