Interesting. I'm testing it on Window though. You're using Linux? Maybe the scheduling is different.

No, it was always smooth for me. But I only tried it on 64-bit machines
and only with ghc-6.10.2.

The breakout example has a zero threadDelay in its main loop, because
that apparently causes a break with the length of a scheduler tick,
essentially giving an 50 Hz sampling rate. The chase example has no
delay added at all, and it goes over 2500 fps for me.
