I had never used the frame_number parameter before so I simply
went with what I knew. Heck, I had never tried what I am doing
before either. Your code is obviously the better way to do this
as I can leave the clock moving form 0 to 1.

However, this doesn't help the render speed problem. Not sure
if you thought it would or not. Each subsequent frame is still
taking longer.
