Couple of variations. A figure has much more functionaility (eg morphs) and hidden effects like callbacks that explain the much higher time, but wasn't expecting it to have as much as an impacted as the numbers show. It may be I have something installed that is using callbacks or someother function adding to the figure redraw.
