Yes, please do so, because adding delays will only make the whole
thing more sluggish. Please revert the delay changes (also the sleep(3)
I suggested after the pause, in case you have that in) and just use
recording.c from 1.1.31. In 1.1.32 I modified this in order to no longer
have a short picture freeze at the end of a replay, but apparantly that
broke instant pause mode. If you can verify that the 1.1.31 version of that
file works together with the rest of the 1.1.33 source, I'll probably know
how to fix this.
