PAL TV was 25 fps, or 40 ms/frame. Film movies are shot at 24 fps, or 41.7
ms/frame. Silent movies were shot at 18 fps, or 55.6 ms/frame. Traditional,
hand-drawn animation is shot at 12 fps, or 83.3 ms/frame, and looks fine (see
"Fantasia" for an example). Anything under 100 ms/frame will look smooth.

Still, I can see how 80 ms on the local machine might be a concern if the
intention is for this to work over the internet.
