order of operations - a comment on the Russification hack

So I bit the bullet a couple of weekends ago and Russified my PRS-600. Not for the language of course -- for the clock! It didn't take me long to notice, however that the page turns tended to lag a bit -- sometimes.

I'm a bit picky on refresh rates and the -600 was the first E-ink screen I could tolerate, so I wasn't sure if I was being overly sensitive (in a rush), or if it really had changed . . . so I started paging through. To my frustration, each time I tried to catch it lagging, it behaved just fine. after a while I discovered it that only the first page lagged. If I did more soon after, no problem.

then I noticed this:



I took this movie above to show a distinct order of operation *if* the book has been sitting more than a minuet.

1: a depress
2: the clock updates
3: the text updates

Ah-Ha! so there's the lag!

Oh Crud! It's WAY beyond my skill to fix it.

And so, I submit to the PRS hackers and Linux gurus, is there a way to switch the order so the clock updates after the text refreshes?
