I've seen that somewhere also (5s) but I know the delay was significantly less than that, possibly less than 1s. Whatever the case, I just tried out the timeout mechanism I posted about and that seems to have resolved the issue (sped up refresh significantly also). So that chunk of code is definitely a candidate for inclusion in trunk IMO.

BTW, all that in my previous post is based on r187. Sorry, I've been working on it for days and never noticed the two new updates until earlier today. I'll try to port to current trunk after I test out reinit.
