Slow gauge animation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

>What steps will reproduce the problem?

Initial opening of page containing four gauges.  Legends / values display 
correctly, but take a while to display.  Animations are very slow.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

> Gauges render correctly, but animation is very slow, 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

>Release 0.4.3
>jQuery 1.7.1
>excanvas.js as sourced from jsgauge example page

Please provide any additional information below.
> Everything worked great until the last round of Windows / IE8 updates when I 
realized that I hadn't correctly included a conditional link to excanvas.js.  
Once I added this link the gauges rendered, but very slowly.

This should be a little better with this change to decrease the setTimeout 
interval: http://code.google.com/p/jsgauge/source/detail?r=67

The root of the problem is that requestAnimationFrame - for smooth animation - 
is not implemented in IE8. For more information see
