internal time.sleep(0.003) hacks are required but limit speed

[gpshead]

Wanting to speed it up before speed and turtle hiding are implemented i noticed the time.sleep(0.003) calls in the code and figured I'd start there as a quick hack.

Removing those "does" speed it up. It also messes up the drawing with only a fraction of pixels making it to the display (on a pygamer under circuitpython 4.1.0beta1). There appears to be a displayio related race condition those sleeps are working around?

yep, at this time we only redraw what the sprite moves over, if its too fast, we dont catch that. we'll add bitmap-change-draws at some point but it isnt supported yet, so this works instead :)

This hack can go away once adafruit/circuitpython#1981 is fixed.

@tannewt It looks adafruit/circuitpython#1981 has been fixed. Can this issue be closed?

[ladyada]

would be lovely if someone could test and do a PR for it, dont close until that's done :)

[tannewt]

Right, we still need the sleeps removed from this library.
