Chris,

As mentioned in the forum, I get about a 4-5x speed up on my Ti4200, 
although it's only to 18fps.

I agree with Don that something strange is going on with Location
selection, but arguably it may be "as designed".

I duplicated what he saw:
After selecting London, "Follow London" is displayed in
the lower right corner of the display, and the RMB rotates
the viewpoint around London.

When I double-clicked on Earth, the name in the upper right corner 
changed to Earth, but the viewpoint still rotated around London.
However, I then noticed that "Follow London" was
still visible in the lower right corner. Double clicking on Earth did
not change that, but when I typed an F, it switched to "Follow Earth" 
and the RMB rotated the viewpoint around the Earth's center.
