Hi,

Looks like starting effect with low HZ machine takes considerably time
due need to wait for system timer. Simplest way to make things faster is
to do calculation for effect always instantly, like in stopping, but
this makes starting multiple effects more costly.

Other solution would be making it a module parameter, so behavior could
be controlled per machine. Optimize possible cost or speed. I attached
small patch which will do that.

If starting priority of individual effect is needed to controlled, you
probably need to add flag for that to effect itself... I don't know
which way FF-api is developing, so this could be either good or bad
thing.

Any opinions or suggestions? Other than rising HZ. =)

I think we should just start playing the effect immediately, without any
additional module parameters. I'll queue such patch unless I hear
otherwise from Anssi.

Indeed that is ok, no need for a module parameter.
