Back in the days of pure DOS, a program could count on having the processor's undivided attention, and it was possible to get something done in 10 milliseconds. Now, even with processors 1000 times faster, Windows uses up so much of the computer's resources that 250 ms is a dangerously short time. When you consider that TKinter is running on top of TCL, which is running on top of Python, which is running on top of Poser, which is running on top of Windows, which is running on top of BIOS, it's not surprising to have overlapping events.
