My guess is that method b is setting up 100 timers that will all  
expire very close to each other, so close in fact that their effects  
are not all seen in individual repaints.  What if you add 10 ms to  
each successive addTimeout call in method b? (i.e. the first is 1000 
+0, the second is 1000+10, ..., the last is 1000+99)?

BTW, how many timers does fox/fxruby support?
