there seem to be 2 problems:
e-ink itself, the display is not made for fast updates. If i got it right, it can do a full refresh in 1 second and a fast refresh in 0.5 seconds. The second problem is, that as far as i understand it, every display page (=everything that has to appear on the display) has to be converted to a bitmap, and after that the display is updated with the generated bitmap. (the device is just 400 MHz, try loading a big picture (~500-600kb) on a 800 MHz PC and you will see, why it updates slow.)

Everyone knowing that better correct me if i got something wrong please.
