Comment 4 for bug 1265697

In response to jazzynico's questions.

The state duration seems to be dependent on the duration of panning. Usually the duration is between 0.1 and 1 second, but I've seen it last as long as 4-5 seconds (if I kept panning trying to extend the duration of the effect). The mouse scroll wheel results in the effect occuring for about 0.1 seconds for each tick of the scroll wheel.

My computer is a relatively fast computer, and I have a recent i5 cpu as well. I should bring additional attention to the fact that the artifacting happens regardless of file size or number of objects.
