Seems I spoke too soon. Under AM the case does come up within two of 
M2's own demo films.

As a result I had to regress the change there. Breaking M2 era vidfilms 
is simply unacceptable for the AM project.
The problem of slow centering does show up in the debugger, but the 
person is moving enough that it isn't as noticeable.

Also, as a workaround, as long as you explicitly hold down the 
_look_center key, then it moves at normal speed.

As for A1... well, ancient vidmaster films were broken long ago I 
believe. AND the option of keyboard only play was removed from the Mac 
GUI. So the whole situation of whether or not I pop this change out is 
a lot more open to discussion. :/
