Sorry it's taken so long to respond.  These are more difficult questions.

I really don't know, though performance should be fine as long as you're 
not trying to make smooth animations.  (I'm not sure what you're trying to 
build.  Have you tried using the controls in gui.ss?)

The engine is extremely stateful, and capturing a continuation will not 
allow you to rewind events.  It may be possible to change that, but I 
haven't thought about it much.  I think the implications would be large. 
Do you want to be able to rewind events?

I haven't tried, but I'd be very interested to hear about what you 
discover and provide whatever help I can.
