Details:

This was noted in another bug report. The current behavior of pause if to
sleep the expected number of seconds plus the time spent processing graphics
events. For example if one tries to change the size a complicated figure while
in pause, the time spent in pause will be much larger than requested :


figure (); demo ("annotation", 1)
tic (); pause (5); toc ## continually resize the figure during a few seconds


I'll attach a patch that improves the timing accuracy when I have a bug
number.
