I'm trying to make some animating elements in the playlist (show dynamic info must be checked in preferences/display). Right now i'm using %_time_elapsed_seconds% as a timer like this:

$ifgreater($mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,2),0,$char(9835)$char(9834),$char(9834)$char(9835))

This gives a nice effect i think. Now i'm planning to do a scroller for the playing track with additional info (maybe codec, filesize etc) and i would like it to scroll faster (smoother) than only one character/sec.

What's best to use as a "timer"?
