No, no, no. Setting test causes no such thing. It is the incrementing of
RASTER itself which causes the delay, under the normal rules of BA and AEC
interaction.

Sort of. I have a feeling there's slightly more to it than that, but I
can't work out what. Something to do with the first 3 cycles after TEST
has been set.
