OK, quick report back. I added Colin's code to Paul's stack (but left the move rate at 20 ticks) and it worked nicely but the movement was somewhat jerky.
Searching around the archives, I came across some comments about the syncRate setting, so I set it to 10 and everything worked very smoothly. Actually, it seems that any syncRate from 16 downwards made things work smoothly, not sure if that would be affected by monitor refresh rates/CPU power/etc. Thanks again for all the advice on this, much appreciated.
