Actually, our problem was that we assumed SDL_Flip would give us a consistant 
frame-rate. This stemmed from the fact that when I originally started Tux 
Typing I didn't completely understand what SDL_Flip did... and then (once I 
did understand it) I forgot to go back and fix it.

Tuxmath checks to make sure there was an appropriate wait (see lines 427-430 
in game.c)
