Haha, even though one isn't "supposed" to use a garbage collected
language for anything "real-time", in practice it's been completely
fine. First, the time resolution of the underlying control protocol
(DMX) is only about 20 ms anyway. Second, the changes in output are
usually smooth curves over several seconds, so millisecond-level jitter
isn't perceptible - if it even affects the output values at all.
