# -delay uses time per tick (a tick defaults to 1/100 of a second), so 60fps ==
# -delay 1.666666 which is rounded to 2 because convert apparently stores this
# as an integer.
#
# To animate faster than 60fps, you must drop frames, meaning you must specify
# a lower -r. This is due to the GIF format as well as GIF renderers that cap
# frame delays < 3 to 3 or sometimes 10. Source:
