The Beta9f version will contain code which totally skips logos whose time has been set to zero, so unnessesary stuttering will be eliminated.

Regarding a pause when new logos are loaded, there is no issue to resolve. If a logo is big, it will take the computer a certain amount of time to load it. On my 5-year old XP machine, a 256x256 PNG file loads in the space of a single frame, so there's no glitch at all.

On the clock issue, the idea was that if someone wanted to see what time it is, pressing the C key would interrupt the Logo playlist, and display a clock for 10 seconds. If they wanted a continuous clock, they can simply put it in the Logolist. Since you are the second person to ask about this, I may need to add some way of making the switch permanent.
