I think your definitions of smooth animation might be different.  It's
something of a subjective thing, after all.  You could render 1 frame ever 2
refreshes, and some would say it's smooth, while others wouldn't.  Sounds
like your definition is at the high end to me.

Then I say it's long overdue that it's added to X. :)
