That changes the value written to the programmable timer.  When this
number is changed to $e1, the length of the timer's cycle decreases
and the frame rate should increase from about 32 frames per second to
around 48 frames per second, which is likely to be too fast.  It might
not actually run at that speed all of the time, because controlling
and drawing all of the objects might take too much CPU time.

(I have no idea why it won't compile)
