sounds all quite good.
I've also found this hints for timing the physics loop (in a computer  
game) here: [1], it's an interesting read, at least. From this page,  
there are also more interesting articles.

I'm also re-directing this thread to the simspark-devel mailing list  
(I know you're all subscribed :-), because the advantage of this list  
is that everybody interested can read what's going on and the emails  
get archived automatically. Please, let's continue our discussions  
there.

cheers
Oliver
