I have been making animations, using ShowAnimation, and then exporting these to a gif movie Export["file.gif",animation] Typically I might have around 130 frames. This all works, but it is SO slow, maybe taking a couple of hours to export!! The final movie is only 176 kb, so each frame is pretty small. Is there a better way to do this? I was running on a 600MHz pentium under linux.
