Hi!

  I want to run *all* of my pfSequences at slower-than-realtime
rates - just for a test - so in APP, I do something like:

  static float time = 0.0f ;
   .
   .
  pfFrame() ;
  pfFrameTimeStamp ( time ) ;
  time += 0.0001 ;

...and run my simulation at 30Hz. What happens is that my sequences freeze - no
more animation at all! I have tried printing out pfGetFrameTimeStamp() and it
increments nicely as I would expect.

If (partway through the run) I stop changing pfFrameTimeStamp every frame, then
the sequences continue running from where they left off.

Is there some problem with touching the pfFrameTimeStamp every frame? Is there a better
way to slow down realtime? (For lots of complicated reasons, I can't go and touch
every pfSequence node to slow it down).

Thanks in advance.
